Erin, one of the two figures on the Patrick Andrew Collins Memorial, represents Ireland. In the Smithsonian's Inventory of Outdoor Sculpture, she is described as, "…wearing a crown of shamrocks. She holds a harp under her proper left arm and a bunch of laurel in her proper left hand."
You'll find Erin on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall between Clarendon and Dartmouth Streets. She's a patient model who loves posing for photos. You'll enjoy discovering all the details on this lovely lady.

I popped over and gave it a test. Since my dog Poppy was already licensed, I typed in her current license number and all my information was filled in by the system.
Because we had a new three year rabies certificate, I took a photo of it, corrected the dates of her vaccination, and uploaded the photo as requested. Her spay certificate was already on file and the system had already set my option for a $6 license for a spay/neuter dog.
Once I checked that all the information on file was correct, I paid with a credit card. There is a small fee for processing the credit card so my licence will be sent to me for $7.
There are so many reasons why you should license your dog. Obviously, the information helps the city find you if your dog is lost or stolen. It assures anyone who has to help your dog that the animal has its rabies vaccination, since you can't get a license without one.
But, most important, it tells the city government how many residents need services for their animals. If you want dog parks, shared dog recreation spaces, changes that would allow you to have your dog join you on restaurant patios, and not be prohibitied from parks and other public places, you need to be counted.
If you don't want to register online, you can do it by mail or in person. If your dog is already licensed, you should receive a renewal package this week or next. If not, you can download the form or pick one up and complete the process at City Hall, the Boston Animal Shelter, or at a scheduled stop for the City Hall To Go Truck.

Treats like a visit to a great Irish Pub like Sonny's in Adams Village or the Squealing Pig in Mission Hill are available year round. But it is fun to be reminded of the things you like about a culture with a special holiday or festival.
And, if dressing up is something you love, this weekend is an excuse to do just that. We have a popular post on where to find costumes and accessories for events like this one.

The brand new Fastachi shop at 83 Charles Street is filled with bins of nuts, gift packages, nut butters, and all the wonderful sweet and fruity gourmet goodies we've grown to love at their farmers' market stands and their original Watertown shop.
Back in 1965, this address was the home of Ski Hut as you can see in this photo from the City of Boston Archives.
When Penny found this photo, the Beacon Hill Fastachi was just in the planning phase. She saved it to share with fans of this fabulous, family business when the shop finally opened.
Bins of nuts welcome you when you step inside this address today.
They also carry our favorite almonds roasted in their shells. We are addicted to these!
And, at the back of the store are some of the nuttiest chocolates you'll find anywhere.
Today, 83 Charles Street is a must-see stop. Drop by when you need a gift, to stock up on healthy snacks for home, or to pick up a scoop of freshly roasted nuts to take on your walk through the Boston Common, Public Garden, or the Charles River Esplanade.
