Late in August Sarah invited me to join her and her boyfriend Alex on a visit to her family's home in Stonington, CT. The town's bucolic setting is quintessentially New England, with rolling stone walls and historic farm lands bordering bright blue water. The air was crisp, and it was such a treat to spend so much time outside, with no particular agenda. We visited the beach, had lunch on the docks, explored and bought produce from a neighbor's farm, and even got to see our good pal Arianna, who has been living between Sweden and Colorado (but who happened to be in town). It was an incredibly beautiful and relaxing weekend. I'm so grateful to Sarah and her family for sharing their home.
