Walking along Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay yesterday, we spotted bulbs a poppin' in many of the sunny side front yards. Here's a sample of what you might see if you get out before a possible weekend snow covers them up again.
These snowdrops were not quite open, but ready to bloom!
Poking their first leaves through the snow, there were crocus all over the place.
This yard has an assortment of bulbs showing pretty good growth.
Don't miss a photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G15 camera will give you what you need to take stills and video. Canon's G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11. They're a little bigger than the compacts most people use, but let you shoot with automatic settings or easy-to-use manual controls that please the many pros who use them as second cameras. And, if you're ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed Shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR and we just added a Nikon D600 to our camera fleet and are extremely happy with the performance it has delivered.

But, seriously, she really did collect a lot of information in preparing to write this book. As perpetual students of Boston's rich history, we loved learning so many new aspects and seeing how alcohol, the places where drinking took place, and social reformer movements fit into what we already know.
The book takes you on a time travel trek from inside Boston’s first colonial taverns, through the saloon era, on to Prohibition, stopping at the 1930s and 1940s nightclub scene, and bringing you right up to the current craft cocktail movement. Did you know that early taverns sometimes served as courtrooms?
Along the way Schorow delves into the issues of class, social reform, and reminds you of the breweries, neighborhood bars, and some of the people who were an important part of what she calls a “…drinking town.”
Put Drinking Boston On Your Gift List
This book will make a great gift for anyone who loves Boston history and would like to see it through a different perspective.
It can help a newcomer to the city understand references to places like Scollay Square and many beloved neighborhood bars.
It’s peppered with background and cocktail recipes for your favorite mixologist.
And, it includes a great collection of photos.
Here's Jackson Cannon from The Hawthorne, Eastern Standard, and Island Creek Oyster Bar.
You'll learn more about him as Drinking Boston moves into Boston's current craft cocktail scene. Schorow also takes you on visits with Patrick Sullivan, Robert "Cleve' Toomey, Misty Kalkofen, Todd Maul and others who are a part of the scene.
The book wraps up with a glossary of drinks and cocktail lingo to help you communicate with your favorite person behind the bar.

The artists who reside and work in this historic property have always done their best to preserve and honor the legacy they have inherited. The door was beautiful before, but just look at the difference now!
Here's the before in a photo from 2008.
The wood had acquired a dark stain over the years and the wonderful details of the ornamentation were less distinct.
If you love this wonderful structure and the concept of an art community that it represents, consider joining the Friends of Fenway Studios or donating what you can to the non-profit that assists with the upkeep and protection of the building.

On every Provincetown visit we make a point of checking out some of our favorite gardens. This one, on Commercial Street, had a new addition– a Frenchie sculpture.
Suddenly, the real star emerged from the house, and granted a brief, private photo op!
And, just as abruptly, returned to seclusion, leaving the stand-in to deal with the next admirers!
Thanks for coming out to see us, little Frenchie!

We are grateful for any plant that brings the thought of spring our way in the darker months. So think about adding a few of these as you plan additions to your garden. This year, they've had lots of company with some pansy, crocus, and snowdrops springing up early. But, in colder years these will bring smiles to the faces of winter weary neighbors.
But, since we were just formally introduced to the Hellebores, we'll let them star alone today as our photograhy models. Above is a carpet of them that we found on February 5th.
