We have a double Friday Link, today. First is The Garden Club of the Back Bay's blog<\/a> that keeps us informed about wonderful programs, events, and exhibitions. <\/p>\n

This week, they pointed out "Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change"<\/a> which opens this weekend at The Concord Museum.<\/p>\n

The Concord Museum Says:<\/strong><\/p>\n

"Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change<\/em>, a ground-breaking exhibition at the Concord Museum from April 12 through September 15, 2013, explores three centuries of careful observation of seasonal natural phenomena in Concord, a pool of data on the relationship between climate and biology that is essentially without parallel in North America. The exhibition also provides an extraordinary opportunity to examine the Concord Museum\u2019s renowned Thoreau collection that includes the desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden<\/em>, together with examples of his original field notes, journal recordings, seasonal charts, and botanical specimens. This material has never before been exhibited together."<\/p>\n
