feeling like a kid again

really smiled when i ran across a scan of this picture (Wellfleet harbor, 1972) the other day. it reminded me how much i've been feeling like a kid again lately, what with my new life in Acton with my new family.

because wasn't that what being a kid was all about? experiencing new stuff? (and having awe and wonder and general joy?) i'm still loving it.

happy new year, everyone!

back in the cage, but with a friend

meet Angel (on the left): she's joined our family and keeps Coral (on the right) company -- together they twitter and cheep most enthusiastically at times.

Angel is the loud one and she cries out at regular intervals, sometimes squawking in random annoyance and other times chattering to whomever will listen. Coral remains more stolid and reserved; but when anyone violates her territory, she emits a stream of unmistakeable 'back-off' chitters -- watch out!

PRETTY bird! [wolf whistle]

meet Coral, the latest addition to our family. out of the cage at last.

from the back

see? the view is spectacular! (even at low tide, as pictured.) and it even comes furnished.

new property listing

our realtor advises that we grab this property quick, before anyone else steals it. sure, it's a fixer-upper; but the location is amazing.

can i eat that? or is it just some bit of filth?

from a picture i took in Plymouth this past August. (i'm just getting to them now.)

married!

why wait until late spring? why wait until December? what's wrong with today? (yesterday, actually.)

our rings arrived, and we just couldn't wait.

had a small ceremony with a jp and a (slightly larger) wedding dinner in the evening.

yay, we're married!

[we get back from a short honeymoon (in Wellfleet) on October 13 -- the first of many, most likely.]
