    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.

  • 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.

  • Bench Life in Summer – Take it Outside!

    CHE_7793 - Version 32013-05-30-bench-life-boston-commonwealth-Avenue-Mall-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    When temperatures rise, Boston residents and visitors settle onto benches in parks like the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. You’ll find few vacancies as the seats fill up with people reading, working, relaxing, eating, texting, and phoning.

    CHE_7782 - Version 22013-05-30-bench-life-boston-commonwealth-Avenue-Mall-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While most people are reading phones or tablets, a few still prefer paper and ink books.

    This converstation was full of hand gestures with breaks for taking notes.

    Do you take it outside on hot days? Are the parks cooler than your home during a heatwave? Do you ever work in the park?
