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

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…

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.
