When I first moved into the Brookline apartment nearly 2 years ago, there was a huge tree out in the parking lot. They removed it a few months later. This weekend while I was running all over Boston stimulating the economy, I left in the morning seeing flowers in the plot outside my door. I came back to cement. I can't believe they covered up the dirt and sealed it. It doesn't even match the brick work! I'm a suburbs girl for sure, but I've made do with living in the city by having some greenery around...So now, all I have is the smelly pear trees outside in the front and my fruitless veggie plants I've planted that are sitting on my front windowsills. If they didn't want to keep up the planting of season plants, I would have easily volunteered to keep it pretty with plants. Sigh...whhyy?!

This started as a 365 day-by-day blog of my life in Boston as a 2nd year transplant from May 2010- May 2011. I continued into my 3rd year before one of my New Year's Resolutions was to make something new each week. So I blogged about my dishes with photos. Now, another resolution has brought me back to blogging. In March 2014 I plan on spending only $45 which can only go towards food/beverages. Stay tuned to see how I do.

Goodbye Plants, Hello Cement
