  • Sunday Dog, Rocky Is Show-Dog-Cute!

    Rocky is not only show-dog-cute, but also a natural when it comes to striking a pose! At only a year-and-a-half old, this handsome Norwich Terrier just loves the camera. Can’t you just image this face peering back at you from the pages of a canine calendar?

    But before you get the wrong idea, it’s important to know that Rocky is much more than just a pretty face. This spunky little guy is as bright as they come. His talents go far beyond the usual “sit” and “down” mastered by most dogs, to “roll over” and “high five” on command!

    Then, there’s the friendly, inquisitive side of this extraordinary character. When he first arrived in Boston last New Year’s Eve, Rocky admitted that he had no idea how much he was going to like living in the city and making new friends! Our Poppy found him irresistible as the two compared ears!

    We’re told that Rocky really likes two female Jack Russell Terriers (there seems to be a pattern here) that live in his building and he loves to play with them!

    In his spare time, Rocky enjoys mixing it up with his favorite Hedgehog toy, gnawing on a good piece of rawhide, and getting to sleep with his person in the big bed. What a life! What a dog!

  • Season of Abundance: Gardens

    PMC_5848 - Version 32012-08-09-abundance- September-labor-day-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This is the season to enjoy the lush abundance of gardens & parks around the city. This Back Bay front yard is lush with fully developed plants layering against the architectural elements.

    On a side street, someone has created a window box with that same abundant impact.

  • Those Yummy Peppers Are Back…

    IMG_5701 - Version 22012-08-28-sweet-yellow-peppers-atlas-farm-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Last year, we told you all about the Yummy Yellow peppers we found at the Atlas Farm stand at the Copley Square Farmers' Market. Yes, they are really called Yummy.

    They're back and we recommend you pick some up and have them on hand to make a quick and delicious supper. 

    DSC_7678 - Version 22012-08-28-sweet-yellow-peppers-atlas-farm-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We sliced them, sauted them with some onion, and cracked a few eggs into the mix for a meal.
