Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay (finally)! After all the rain/gray skies, I invite you to take our weekly #respite in #mygarden, (which doesn’t care it’s fall!). Just breathe, and take along the best musical accompaniment: the World Classical Network (on free iHeart app/streaming WCRI 95.9)🌸🦋

Butterfly bush only has half of its blooms but there were still butterflies, moths and bees visiting yesterday.

Surprise! Rose deciding to start growing on its own in the Concord grape arbor…. (photo yesterday).

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! It’s 9/25, or 9-2-5, just like the movie/hit song titles. Cities across America are calling it #DollyDay or #DollyPartonDay in her honor. Here’s a #rose from #mygarden for today’s #respite break as it reminds me of her wigs! Let’s be extra kind in her memory.🩷

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! We’re sharing #mygarden #respite w/the #Cricket family. Ricket (at my deck door), pointed to his wife Picket (examining #squash) & son Kicket, who was a bit jumpy. They calmed down when I played the WCN (iHeart app)/WCRI 95.9 stream. Don’t go buggy! Tune in!🪳🎶

Ricket Cricket & his family are visiting my garden this week.

Picket Cricket was complimenting my garden as she was examining my squashes. Well-mannered but a bit…antsy.

Kicket Cricket is their eldest son. He was a bit buggy and climbing walls. His jumpiness faded when he heard the World Classical Network coming out of my phone app.

Good morning, my friend! Talk about #ThrowbackThursday! Wrote a column in March about appraiser-restorer David Manzi. Went to see his brand new Woburn store yesterday. Top quality made-to-last things! Just like classical 🎶! For the best, World Classical Network (free iHeart app/WCRI 95.9 streaming!)

The office & restoration workshops.
22 Prospect Street, Woburn. Insurance & personal property appraisals and/or restoration of damaged artworks, furniture, pianos, even ship models!

The new store at 3 Green Street, Woburn. 2 floors of furniture, lamps, china, crystal, books, toys, pottery, artworks, cutlery, magazines…
(They just moved in and they already need a bigger place!)

Too many fine things to describe! Inventory changes daily. Turns out, when people want long-lasting quality, they go “old school…”

Good morning, my friend! 🐇🐇!! Sharing pics of the 107th annual St. Anthony Feast on Sat in the North End. I’ve gone almost every year since I was born!🎉Tune in this morning for the festive Svendsen’s “Norwegian Artists Carnival” on the World Classical Network (free iHeart app/WCRI 95.9 streaming!)

The streets of Boston’s North End are decorated for the annual St. Anthony Feast, the largest Italian religious festival in New England. The National Geographic calls it “the Feast of all Feasts.” I just call it fun.

Close-up of the St. Anthony statue that is paraded through the North End’s streets. It’s covered with jewelry and ribbons on which people pin money as thank-you offerings to the saint for his intercession on their prayer requests.

When you make a donation you’re given a thank-you card and button…

Treated ourselves to piping hot fried dough balls covered in powdered sugar. Bye-bye diet.

My bro-i-l (VietNam) taught me the 1st picture. (Clic on pics) #MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen

Photo explains what it means when you see coins on a gravestone:
1) Leaving a Penny means you visited the grave;
2) Leaving a Nickel means you went to basic training together;
3) Leaving a Dime means you served together;
4) Leaving a Quarter means you were there when he/she died.
