I wish July would slow the heck down. We’re smack in the middle of the baseball season already. My cousin Steven judges the progress of summer according to when the Halloween candy corn shows up at CVS, and I think I saw it. The Back to School ads are running already. Gee, we haven’t even …
What a busy week! I’m exhausted, but that’s how it goes. I did quite a bit of yardwork, drove to pickup a friend who had day surgery quite a ways from home, and on Friday going with Jeff to his first appointment at Dana Farber, Boston’s well-known cancer hospital. Hoping for the best, and looking …
On Friday, Jeff, his older daughter and I went to Boston’s Museum of Science. The joint was certainly jumping because it was school vacation. But actually, it was great to see so many kids and parents at the museum. The kids were very engaged with all the exhibits, and so were we! Especially important and …
After spending 5 hours outdoors today raking my lawn and gardens and composting the leaves, I’ve just scratched the surface. But boy, am I exhausted. I think I see more of the same tomorrow. But Jeff and I are going to see the Shakespeare play, Richard III, at a local theater. It’s been so long …
This was such a busy weekend that I didn’t get a chance to post the weekly roundup from Beauty & Style Spotlight Team. My good friend Sue who moved to D.C. almost two years ago called me at the last minute when she decided to come for the night on Friday on her way back …
It’s the weekend already. I don’t know about you, but I’m still doing end of summer chores like taking the pots, hangers and summer furniture out of the yard and putting them into the basement and garage. But before we get started, a great bagel shop, Salty’s Bagels in Rockport MA, that somewhere between a …

Before the storm comes up the east coast on Sunday and Monday, Jeff and I are going to make our annual pilgrimage to the Topsfield Fair today. Looking forward to seeing the bunnies, chickens, sheep, goats, cows, llamas, horses, local amateur artwork, as well as the gorgeous fruits, vegetables and floral arrangements. Plus, it’s time …
Spring has finally sprung in New England! My pear trees are in bloom as are the pink and purple azaleas. Hope the temperatures stay warm so the lilacs in my yard will begin to bloom next week. In Boston, the lilacs are definitely blooming and the trees are leafed out. On Thursday, a friend and …
There’s definitely a difference in the quality of the late afternoon light: it’s more golden and less white. And now, sunset north of Boston is approaching 5:30pm. There’s hope in sight in spite of the snow and cold. Hope you’re seeing signs of coming spring where you live. After much deliberation, Lola’s Secret …
We had a wonderful holiday, and our holiday is still going on. In fact, tonight I plan to make latkes to celebrate. I hope your holiday celebrations were fun, festive, joyous, and optimistic! This Week’s Beauty Spotlight Team Roundup Do you have a big evening event to go to but don’t have an outfit for …
Oh dear, only one more week of our beach club being open. Where is the summer going? I have only been on the beach once, although I’ve been to the club about 5 times. That’s about $300 per visit. Yikes. But the weather is supposed to be perfect this weekend (for a change), and I …
The spring holidays are finally here! I couldn’t be happier unless the temperature went up above 50 degrees or so. The daffodils and crocuses are starting to open, though the magnolia, cherry and pear trees could definitely use a little more sun and heat here in northern MA to help their blossoms open. I hope …
This week, lots of us in different parts of the U.S. have had unusually cold temperatures, snow or ice. In MA yesterday, we had another nor’easter, this time with sleet, freezing rain, and plunging temperatures. That means that everything is encased with ice. I went out at about 4pm to shovel my front steps and …
