A tiny 'pocket park'

Welcome to the Officer Arthur English Memorial Garden. Hardly large enough to warrant a second glance on my daily commute to and from work. However, it is large enough to occasionally lure me to it's benches for a bite to eat or some writing or reading time. My previous post was written here in this tiny floral pocket park above the green line tracks where I enjoyed the sunshine and snapdragons. To be exact it was written on this bench, which is one of two in the garden:

Journey Downtown

Warning: This is a very old post. I wrote it on August 21st outside on my lunch break at work and when I tried to impute it into the computer I had tons and tons of problems. Blogger and I don't get along. Now that the wedding is over, David (my new in-home computer tutor) is showing me a little Html so i can avoid the pre-wedding blogger frustration that began my month absence. On with the show!

So, yesterday David and I both played hooky with the aim of 'getting some things done.' In fact, our first mission was to purchase rings for our extremely quickly approaching wedding. Thankfully, for both our budget and sanity, we followed the advice of friends and headed downtown Boston to check out the plethora of jewelers located in the area.

Once successful at mission number one, mission number two was to take a little rest and relaxation, and enjoy the day. This weather we have right now is wonderful - the best all summer, I'd say! You can feel autumn's pull in the crisp night air and bright blue skies.

Being thrifty and able-bodied, we took the journey from Downtown Crossing to Trident Booksellers and Cafe (yum, yum, yum.) What a delight! All manner of people were out enjoying this brilliant day.

Please bear with me, I'm still learning how to format well on Blogger, but take a look at some highlights of our journey:
