If you live in the area you just know. It isn't a matter of weather or the date or even calendar: it is the traffic. Yesterday, it was apparent that the season was upon us. The Berkshires International Film Festival ends tomorrow and the parades are done but soon, really soon Tanglewood opens, th

I wrote about the amazing tree men before. My new neighbors were having numerous trees removed to allow light to shine on their property. It was better than the circus or a magic show. I took and posted pictures. Then I had the owner of the company look at at tree I had in my front yard that seem

I have been told I have changed. So? Isn't that what you would expect? All of us, well at least those of us who are lucky enough to live through our idiosyncrasies, change as we grow. Don't we? I think it is impoosible to be the way we were always. If you have experienced, loved, worked, or been,

There is a feeling of accomplishment when something is done. Today, I am happy to say that the metal in my ankle for over a year is now out, the bandages are gone, and the staples are gone. I will never be the same but that is true of all of us, everyday. Stuff happens and it is the way that we

There was a parade in Stockbridge this afternoon. Before it happened there were two other parades in other adjoining small towns because there is a regional school system here and everyone wants to see their children and their Veterans. There is something magical about a small town. Today the te

On this day, on any day, be kind and be conscience of doing so. Anyone can feel hurt, unnoticed, or very much alone, but if there is a kind note in your day, then all is improved and everything looks better. I try and remember this and act with kindness always. Often when I am down, and I exhibit

I don't generally re-blog. I can only think of twice in five years and they were both life and death situations. I am re-blogging this because it is accurate, poignant and important. Tammy tells it well and i can't improve upon it. I think if you missed this, you should read it, and if you alread
