(Nothing But) Flowers

It’s not what you would think!

Last week, I went to my cousin David’s wedding in San Diego, so this was our first full weekend here in Boston so we got to do a bit of exploring.

Saturday night we went to see Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hahn, speak at the Boston Opera House. Not exactly an out-on-the-town event (except for the chance to check out the Baroque-style deco of the opera house), but definitely very uplifting and inspiring. Although the tickets were pricey we figured we appreciated the opportunity to hear him speak since we both have found his books on meditation and relationships very inspiring and helpful. He didn’t disappoint!

On Sunday, we biked over the the oldest running farm in Boston, Allandale Farm, for their Heirloom Tomato and Corn Festival. It was a quick and easy ride from where we live. We bought some fresh focaccia bread that we lunched on our way home in the the Arnold Arboretum near our house. The farm-shop looks like our best option for getting local produce since our local food co-op carries a sparse selection of local produce.

The rest of our weekend was filled with the more mundane tasks of putting furniture together and continuing unpacking!
