    CHE_8114 - Version 42013-06-18-bob-oppenheim-copley-farmers-market-boston-shopping-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Penny spotted our neighbor Bob Oppenheim shopping at the Copley Square Farmers' Market and started taking photos before he noticed her. 

    We introduced readers to Bob last year when he had a one man show of his artwork at the Trustman Art Gallery.

    We submitted this photo to the editors and it was selected for the covershot in this week's Back Bay Sun.

    This shows one of the earlier concert stages, said to be from the summer of 1930. Here's our post with all three of the Esplanade concert stages. (This photo is from the Boston Public Library's Collection.)

    If you're out and about in Boston on July 4th, we have a resource page that tries to answer the questions you may have about: what's open and closed, parking, restaurants, trash pick up, and MBTA schedules

    We wish all of you a safe and happy holiday and hope you have tomorrow off, giving you a long weekend to make it even better!

  • A Rainy Day Lamentation of Swans…

    IMG_1247 - Version 22013-06-07-swan-boats-rain-june-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    It has been a rainy month and the swans are lamenting too many days off. Did you know a group of swans is called a lamentation

    As the Swan Boat site says, "The Swan Boats are open seven days per week, weather permitting. We cannot operate on rainy, windy, or extremely hot days." That means these lovelies have had a few days off this June.

  • Generous Gardeners Share the Wealth – Photo of the Week

    IMG_6350 - Version 22013-06-01- geranium-generous-gardeners-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This Cranesbill Geranium creates a beautiful ground cover that flowers in spring. You see the plant popping up in more than a few Back Bay gardens. This is, in part, because generous local gardeners share plants with others as they thin or redesign their own gardens.

    Sometimes, on our walks along Marlborough Street, we'll see plants sitting outside a front yard with a sign that says, "free plants." Other times, a veteran gardener like Susan Juretschke will move plants from one garden to another as she tries to find the spot where they will thrive. 

    Gardeners are genererous people. We once lived next door to a gentleman we called the "Phantom Farmer" because we could arrive home from work to find a bag of garden fresh produce hanging on our doorknob.
