Winter Wonderland

So Amy and I just moved (well, we're still in process) to Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood just to the south of Boston. We had grown tired of the Fenway because of Red Sox season, parking issues, landlord issues, parking issues, and Red Sox season. And landlord issues. It got to be too much.

But, we really liked JP - and it's really close to Amy's studio. There are a lot of people we like who live near here, too, so that's nice. We found an apartment on the second floor of this three story house. It's really awesome because it's right next to the Forest Hills Cemetery - I can see your face right now, but it's not like that. FH is a victorian cemetery, and it's really beautiful. (www.foresthillstrust.org) We can look out of our apartment and see woods and small gravestones in the distance. It's really quite nice. There are sculpture gardens, and a lot of people go for walks, run, there are concerts in the chapel, neighborhood events, etc.

We actually hired movers (a great thing) to move the heavy stuff. We had asked some friends to help us, but seeing as how the high Friday and Saturday was going to be somewhere between 6 and 13, we thought we'd keep our friends and hire movers.

It snowed today, so Amy and I took a break from unpacking boxes and went for a walk through the wintry cemetery. Here are some pics! The yellow house is where we live - second floor apt.
