We spent some time on Saturday wandering around one of my favorite places in the Greater Boston area, the beautiful and serene Mt. Auburn Cemetery. It may seem strange that I enjoy the company of, well, the dead, and I myself admit it seems odd, but this is so much more than just a cemetery. [...]
Hello my dears, I hope you all had lovely weekends wherever you were (and happy belated Easter to those who celebrated). We mostly laid low this weekend though we did enjoy the new Pinkberry that just opened in Harvard Square and managed to have a lovely sunny breakfast outside at our neighborhood cafe before the [...]
Now that they days are getting longer, the sun comes into my kitchen just as I’m making dinner, filling it with the most delicious light, perfect for photos. So the other day I grabbed my DSLR, which has sadly been collecting dust for much of the winter, and went to town.
Dude, film photography is a DIFFERENT WORLD. Of course I used to shoot with a little automatic film camera when I was a kid. I marvel now at how comfortable I was with loading the film, taking my little canisters to be developed, etc. That all seems like ancient history now, but I’m glad I’m [...]

It’s here! The day when I finally unveil our home office to you. I know I’ve been going on and on about it for months, but it’s really been quite the labor of love and a gradual acquiring of all the pieces we wanted in here. It started off as a storage room, really. As [...]
One thing I never expected about buying a house was the expectation from others that we would also buy flowers, when the time was right. Have you ever noticed the flower culture out in the ‘burbs? Because it can be brutal. It’s very “oh your flowers look…. nice. What are you using on them? I [...]
