I recently moved to the East Bay in California. I arrived less than a week ago, with nothing more than a suitcase and a place to crash until I found an apartment of my own. The process has been disorienting and uncomfortable in many ways, but overall the experience of finally being here is exhilarating and exciting. There is so much beauty out here, and so much to explore. I wandered around the Berkeley rose garden, just as the roses were in bloom.

* On My Day Off *
I rarely have full days off from work, so I try to make the most of the ones I have. Plus, with this crazy warm weather for New England, it seems the perfect time to go for bike rides by the ocean.
I think about the things I'll miss once I move out west, and freezing cold bike rides by the atlantic ocean are oddly one of them. Although once I take really warm bike rides by the pacific ocean, I might get over it pretty quickly.

* A Walk on the Beach *
Here are some photos I took on my phone from a chilly fall walk on the beach. Cold but beautiful.
Hope you have a great day!

* Applecrest Farm *
There is an ongoing festival at Applecrest Farm for Labor Day weekend. It is the most beautiful, sprawling farm in Hampton Falls, NH. Hurricane Earl left us with a gorgeous day today, so we decided to make the most of it.
First off, there was a petting zoo. Which, in and of itself, is probably the most entertaining thing in the world. If not for the hilarious farm animals who are slobbering hands for grain and grass, then for the adorable kids who are at once mesmerized by and scared to death of the animals.
My favorite part was watching a baby goat practically knock its momma down as it forcefully tried to get some milk.
And, also this young boy who got cornered in by all the sheep.
They also had some bluegrass music and tons of fresh food. I ate half a burger and half a sausage sandwich. The best of both worlds.
Could not have asked for a better day.
