The season of farm stands, cool mornings, cinnamon-and-nutmeg-flavored everything, and new beginnings.

Tonight is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. At sundown, the year 5781 will begin. Traditionally at this time, we eat apples and honey, to symbolize hope for a sweet year, as well as a new fruit (often a pomegranate, but it can be anything) that we haven’t eaten yet this season. There are many other traditions and customs, observed slightly differently by Jews all over the world. But in the simplest terms you could say they all involve sweetness, newness, self-reflection, and the chance leave the past behind and look forward with hope for health and happiness in the year to come.

I wish you Shanah Tovah if you’re celebrating this weekend, and if you’re not, I hope you eat some cake anyway!

Lately I’ve become obsessed with this app that drops you into random locations in Google Street View and you “drive” around until you can guess where you are. There are different games with locations worldwide, but I mostly just play the USA one. Why yes, I do miss road trips, why do you ask? But seriously, as much as I long for the days of driving all over the country, I cannot complain about Connecticut’s back roads. There’s really nothing better than coming across places like this😍 #thesizeofconnecticut

Colebrook has just 1,520 residents within its 32.9 square miles. What takes up the rest of that space? Unspoiled forests, stunning lakes, beautiful historic buildings, and miles and miles of scenic roads to explore. Continuing with my Just Passing Through series, a post about what to see during a quick stop in Colebrook is up on the blog now. (Link in bio.) #thesizeofconnecticut
