Boston, here we come!

Joe had a business trip to Boston the middle of November and I got to go with him. We stayed in Cambridge just down the road from MIT. Joe spent three days at the ITT booth of the Energy Harvesting trade show with long days. I got to wander around Cambridge and Boston which I love. New England is one of my favorite places especially in the fall. As you can see the trees still had a lot of color on them and the temperature was wonderful and warm.

I love the contrast of the old and new in Boston. These pictures were taken from Cambridge looking over the Charles River at Boston.

I was able to spend one day at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. As I was waiting for the shuttle at the hotel to take me to the "T" to get on the train to go to the museum a lady was waiting and said she wanted to go to the museum but was afraid to ride the T. I invited her to go with me, so we ending up spending the day together at the museum which turned out to be a very enjoyable day.

After the show we drove up to Maine to spend four days for a break and rest. We got to visit our friends which we met when we were at BYU 37 years ago. It is great to have good friends. We also got to spend time and attend church with Joe's brother Ken and his family. They have a wonderful small Branch they attend. Great people. We stayed in a hotel right on the beach in Old Orchard Beach. The above picture is from the beach in front of our hotel. It was so beautiful.

How Does My Garden Grow Chapter 9

November was a busy month and here it is December. We got the furnace in and I am really enjoying the heat. The beginning of November started off cold but as the month went by it was a beautiful month. I finally picked the last of my tomatoes the middle of the month. Many were green but have ripen and we are still eating tomatoes from our garden. Amazing. We had peppers still growing before we left on the 14th of November to go to Boston for a business trip.
Of course it froze and a big winter storm hit just before we got home. We had an amazing garden for our first year and just plopping the plants where ever I could find spots.
