Month: April 2024

Today we visited The Garden at Elm Bank in Wellesley for their “Tulip Mania” event.  There were just rows and rows of beautiful flowers, and we even got to cut 5 of our own from one of the beds.

Cabot’s in Newton has a “birthday club.”  During the month of your birthday, you can come in once for a free scoop of their delicious ice cream.  I enjoyed mine thoroughly:  black raspberry crunch swirl.   Yum.

Enjoyed today’s weather, sitting outside on the patio, reading a book.  And I guess I was sitting still enough not to spook this little guy.

and local eggs are fresh.  Right?  Well, all these eggs, including the lone white one,  came from the same farm in Hardwick MA.  Which is pretty local.  Turns out, egg shell color comes from the breed of the chicken.  Which means they lied to us!!  Lied!!!  Which makes me wonder, what else did they lie about?

Definitely the most sought after accessory today.  I know a lot of people drove up to Vermont (today!  they’re crazy) to see it in totality, but here in eastern Mass. we’ve got a perfect bright day to watch the sun gradually get smaller.

Our friend Emmeline gave us a very cool gift for our anniversary:  a Lego building set.  It makes little Lego flowers.  Which is good, because our cats would eat regular flowers, so we can keep these without worry.

One of my favorite things about spring is watching all the plants and flowers come up.  I can never remember exactly what we planted where, and what it looks like.  So it’s like a surprise every year.
