This is what it looks like, deep in the bowels of the cat shelter.

Since Doug posted the picture of the swan, I am posting this.  This show was so cool–a live string quartet playing The Four Seasons and some other selections, while a series of related images appeared in the sky by way of many drones.  There was a much bigger crowd than I expected, but the images were easy to see as they appeared over Harvard’s stadium.

The first poet laureate of Massachusetts, Regie Gibson, speaks to a crowd at Thursday’s “Make Good Trouble” protest.  His words were heartening.

We caught a fantastic concert at Tanglewood:  openers Fastball and Sugar Ray, headlined by the Barenaked Ladies. If you’re a BNL fan and this tour is coming your way, you should absolutely go.  It was really great fun. And, as you can see, quite well attended.

The first night of our Berkshires vacation, we attended this performance at the famous Shakespeare & Company in Lenox MA.  We had no idea what to expect; Shakespeare “cabaret”??  what the heck is that?
It was fantastic.  Players performed short scenes from different plays, and then the band would play a song that somehow related, mostly classic rock.  Incredibly talented people all around.
If they do it again (this was their 2nd time), highly recommend you check it out if you’re in the area.

Every small inn needs a dog (or a cat).  This is the resident pup at Brook Farm Inn.  Her name is Hex and she is a Very Good Girl.

We divided up a patch of daffodils today.  We filled this entire bucket, replanted a bunch of them, and gave some away to friends.  Fingers crossed for lots of blooms next spring!

Just so you know….
