Salem Summerween

I spent a day in Salem, MA yesterday with some friends. It was way too hot & sunny out there, but I managed to have a great time anyways.

I hadn't been there in well over a decade, so it was nice to be back, but also a bit sad to see a lot of the old places are gone. Still, there are lots of new places to discover, and a lot of great things to see and do.

RIP Pyramid Books

Happy Halloween!

Can't believe the entire month of October is just here and gone again in a flash. Can't we have just one more week, please?

I've had an amazing autumn, though - the best I've had in years. Every day I've been grateful to be back in New England. Here's a visual diary representing my October this year:

About This Blog

Petrichor: the smell of rain as it begins to hit the ground after a long, hot spell; an earthy, dark, and deep scent of hot pavement, soil, and dust; the smell of thunderstorms approaching.

Petrichor represents nostalgic feelings of anticipation to me: Long wild nights of summer vacation that herald the coming of Autumn and Halloween.

This is a seasonal blog honoring the dark half of the year (late summer thru late winter) and is more active during those months.
