extraordinary and everyday beauty

extraordinary and everyday beauty I got up a little early this morning thanks to the time change and decided to walk to Trader Joes to do my grocery shopping. Theres two nearby, but the slightly closer one, at about 25 minutes walk, is the worlds smallest Trader Joes across the river in Boston (which I would say is honestly pretty reasonably-sized for a grocery store). As I left EC and walked across the Harvard bridge at 9 am, the sun was already strong and I had to unzip my fall coat. The trees have finally changed for real, and I found myself stopping to take pictures so much that by the time I had a half-dozen, I felt like I just had to blog them (in addition to already sending them to half the people I know). If you want the real experience, imagine as you scroll through these that theres a spring in your step, youre about to buy lots of delicious food to cook with, Lorde is playing in your ears, and a light breeze urges you onwards. It was such a perfect start to my day; in this kind of weather, MIT, Cambridge, and Boston feel like not just home, but a home encouraging me to be the best version of myself I can be. Theres the Green building! I LOVE that cute Boston architectural style. Not strictly fall or the city, but I was very charmed by this incredible Trader Joes art. Look down the road allllll the way down the road see that red building? Its Maseeh! If you click through to load this panorama in full, youll be able to see lots and lots of beautiful MIT :D The Hyatt, MacGregor, the boathouse, Baker, McCormick, Maseeh, the Dome, Walker, the Green building, the Media Lab I love this place so much.
