A gorgeous October Sunday morning awaited me as I prepared to head out for an early walk before I went off to church. I decided to take a route which I don’t usually travel to, which brings me close to RT.9, the bustling highway at the end my long road. I was looking forward to… [Read More]
Goat Rodeo, Family Style
In August, I went to Tanglewood in Lenox, MA. to attend the amazing concert “Goat Rodeo Sessions,” the latest in creative ventures for Yo-Yo Ma and Friends. This particular group of musicians decided to make music together, each bringing their own style of music to the project; classical, Appalachia, bluegrass and a bit of Celtic…. [Read More]

Last night, my husband and I attended a wonderful concert with singer songwriter, John Flynn at one of our favorite Western MA. haunts, The Guthrie Center. The Guthrie Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to “take care & give care,” and much of that intention comes through music. John Flynn gave an incredible performance. He… [Read More]
The End In Sight
The End in Sight It’s 7:45 p.m. and I’m pooped, sitting on the couch under my favorite puffy throw watching Chronicle. They’re doing a fantastic show about lots of local restaurants and I want to go to each and every one. But, still, I’m on the couch, under the blanket. In the distance, out of… [Read More]

Restful Wind!
The day started early. I eagerly looked forward to picking up my 2 year old grandson in Worcester at 7 a.m. and then drive to Holyoke to play with my other 2 year old grandson. Two, two year olds, to share the best part of the day with. An incredible gift. As I got back… [Read More]
Daffodil Fling!
As Fall rolls around each year, I look ahead to Spring bulbs flowering and eagerly head to the garden center to pick out what’s sure to be a fabulous display in Springtime. More than once, and maybe you can relate, those beautiful bulbs never get planted. They begin, like so many other “things” to take… [Read More]
