Was in air conditioning for most of the day as I ran errands (hooray for AC, thumbs down to errands):

-filled up the gas tank

-dropped by school to pick up some paperwork

-oil change at the car dealer (opted not to get the $700+ suggested repairs. thinking of jettisoning the car altogether…)

-bus passes for kids (geez, they charge each family hundreds of dollars for schoolbus service!)

-art store

The latter was the very funnest errand. Bought some random art supplies for little projects I’ve been dreaming about. Will report back on any success….

Boston, MA

Next week I’ll be vacationing in Boston (woohoo!).

Please send tips for must-see places, great cafes, and your favorite bookshops. Drop me a line if you’re in the Boston area and would like to arrange a meet-up, ok?

Also, any advice on using public transportation? And how safe is public transport and/or walking around the city (esp the Beacon Hill/Boston Commons area) after dark?

hibiscus, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

My Labor Day was chock-full of labor (and HEAT–the hottest day so far this month!).

We are oh-so-close to being fully unpacked now. Today we learned that the track shelving that was going to store so much of our stuff was not meant to be–there were no wall studs anywhere near the only place we could hang it and drywall anchors just pulled right out as soon as shelves were laid on the tracks. Ah well. We’ve found places for nearly everything anyways. :)

When I put clean sheets on the bed today I replaced our typical white matlesse spread with a spread of pale peach silk (made from some remnants given to me by a friend awhile back). I am hoping that sleeping in silk will somehow make this hotter-than-hades night bearable….

Note: this hibiscus photo is from a hike up a hill (the only place to park my car!) in Laguna Beach last weekend. LB has the loveliest cottage gardens!! :)
