Today is the day of the seasonal tire changeover. My rule is December 1st or first snow, which this year coincide.

In the category of “Wow. this looks so much better now!”, few activities outrank the annual polishing of the silver.

I took a break from Thanksgiving preparations today to go for a little walk along the river, past the Charles River Museum of Industry and their landmark smokestack.

A couple of bonus food-prep shots after the break.

Thanksgiving comes first!

Thanksgiving dinner is done. Now I just need to execute.

Yes, we get our Thanksgiving turkey off the back of a truck. We’ve been getting our turkey from our meat CSA since we moved to Newton, and it’s always fabulous. This year’s weighs in at 24 pounds!

That’s the farmer, Kim, in the hat with papers in her hand.

Likely my last lunch of the season from Shuck Food Truck, who said they’re now off the road “unless the weather is awesome”. They’re expensive for lunch but very good. I had the Lobster Fries, aka lobster poutine.

And I continue to be very impressed by my new camera and its tiny little lens.

My new camera has a few gimmicky effects settings. The “Miniature” one is actually kinda neat, simulating the effect of a tilt/shift lens.
