Quiet Sunday vibe… most of the leaves have fallen now and the colors faded. Winter is close. Wishing you all some cozy time today. 💙

Joanne in Boston was in Providence Rhode Island today so naturally we had to attend No Kings at the gorgeous RI Statehouse! What a fantastic turnout! Looks like my beloved Boston did pretty great too…!

A huge pro labor/anti-fascism march this morning in Boston..miles long march from Boston Common to City Hall Plaza. So incredibly proud of my city/state! Pics below of our amazing Governor Maura Healey having in-depth conversations with constituents…love her!

Those runners and cyclists look scary to me…😐
Here’s my Boston view this morning…another horrific and scary war zone of quiet river, tourists, duckboats, and people scurrying off to work…

Took a great boat tour of New York harbor yesterday…first time ever that seeing this lady made me sad…and ashamed. But she left me feeling more committed than ever to fighting for what she stands for…💙

So much sadness and pain in the world, but it is a beautiful summer morning in Boston…grateful for that.
Happy new week my friends!

It’s so hard to lose them, but worth the pain to have them in our lives isn’t it? Here is my Scoutie who I lost last year at 16…such a sweet gentle soul…

Cold and wet, but very proud. Just marched from Boston Common to City Plaza with 100,000 awesome people in protest of Trump’s assault on our democracy. Ironically, we marched down the Freedom Trail past the graves of Paul Revere and Sam Adams…Dropkick Murpheys provided the music. So very proud.

Some pics from our rally at Boston City Hall this morning in support of Mayor Michelle Wu who’s testifying before Congress today on Boston’s support for our immigrant communities. She brought her three week old baby daughter with her…love her, and love my wonderful, welcoming city.
