beyond the wide world&#39;s end

Good luck.

It is pretty in Boston this time of year. :)

From:

So I've heard. Autumn in New England, how exciting!

From:

If the trees would just cooperate and show off some of that spectacular foliage... srsly. :O

And there's no mafia in the city of Wellesley. Just the Yuppie Mafia and some angry NIMBYs.

From:

(this is Bedlam, just on a different journal)

*wide eyes* What? No spectacular foliage?

What's the weather like right now?

From:

It is pretty, yes, but it's been a bit punky in patches for the past couple of years. Stupid global warming. Wellesley should be pretty nice; I think Newton was and they're right next to each other.

Right now? Up where I am, it's nearly 60, a little brisk and bright and sunny. It's supposedly a little cooler in Wellesley, but probably much the same. Forecast is the same for tomorrow. :)

From:

I shall have to bring the camera.

So about the same as here, then. Having those, "oh my god, what kind of clothes do I need?" moments is one of the worst parts of travelling."

From:

The maple trees particularly enjoy going all-out. They're all "OMGYAYFALL." and turn into grand orgies of red-orange-sometimes-purple-yellow-too.

Yeah, it's pretty much sort of like ... jeans and sweatshirts weather, I suppose.

From:

*wide eyes* OOOH.

So definitely about the same as here.

From:

Do trees just not do this in other parts of the country? Poor trees, not having fun.

Well, our states are sort of at a similar latitude... so I'd guess probably about the same, yes. It might be more windy since we're coastal.

From:

Well, yes, but New England autumns are kind of legendary.

Heh. I really doubt anywhere is more windy than Ellensburg.

From:

Woo for New England. But like I said, it's been a bit slacking in the past couple of years. That, or I'm old and cynical.

It tends to get pretty gusty up in Salem, but, I'm right on the water. It's also fairly damp here. (although humidity is about the same here and there, according to wunderground).

From:

Ellensburg is windy but dry.

From:

usually humidity here stands at 70% or so. Sometimes more. It's a shocking 44% at the moment.

From:

HAVE FUN IN BOSTON! Find some Mafia guys to stalk!

From:

I'll be in Wellesley, not Boston, so unless they're Mafia women...

From:

Isn't Wellesley co-ed these days?

From:

Nope, still all-women's.

From:

Oh, huh. Well MAYBE IN THE AIRPORT then.

From:

Heh.

From:

The airport is not that close to the North End. :O

(nor to Southie, for that matter. Or Charlestown. Whose Mafia did you want, again?)

From:

At this moment, no one's?

From:

It's a quieter mafia these days, I hear. Don't worry. :)

From:

Oh, good.

From:

It doesn't matter WHICH Mafia.

Enjoy! If you have a chance and enjoy strolling, take a walk around the lake. Ignore the signs telling you you're entering private property, no one cares, and the path is very well-marked. New England is great this time of year.

From:

Wellesley was gorgeous, and I did in fact walk around the lake! Granted, it was dark at the time, but it was pretty cool.
