Magic Wings Butterfly Conservitory and Gardens

Butterfly on leaf at Magic Wings Saturday was "Girls Day Out" and so my daughter and I took a ride up Rt. 5 to the Magic Wings Conservatory and Gardens in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. This 8,000 sq ft glass conservatory is centered around a heart-shaped, Japanese Koi Pond with a gently, flowing waterfall. Beautiful and vibrant vegetation naturally weaves it's way throughout pathways and quiet sitting areas. Instrumental music peacefully blends itself in with the background noise and you feel as if, you look hard enough, you may see a small muse running carelessly through the underbrush. If I was a butterfly with only a week or two to live, this is exactly where I'd want to spend my last days.

Battleship Cove Fall River, Ma

USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr Recently my kids and I drove down to Battleship Cove in Fall River, Massachusetts to meet up with the Boy Scouts for what was promised to be a weekend of fun, adventure, and a cool overnight experience aboard the USS Massachusetts. To be truthful with you, initially, I was skeptical about this whole Nautical Nights thing. I was worried the kids would be uninterested and bored after twenty-five minutes of traipsing up and down the decks. I was wrong...and greatfully so. In a nutshell, Battleship Cove is a floating museum stationed upon the Taunton River. Pretty much anything goes. Management only asks that you (and/ or your kids) don't shimmy up and down the gun barrels. Just about everything is steel and a good fall or bump to the head could do some serious damage. You are given free reign on all of the vessels and are able to wonder in and out of just about any place you can physically fit. All the nooks and crannies make this a child's wonder world.

Kathleen Edwards To Play Green River Festival

Kathleen Edwards will be performing at the Green River Festival in Greenfield, Massachusetts this summer. Listen to what people are saying about her latest album "Asking For Flowers" and take a listen for yourself.

"It's hard not to get swept up in the bursting emotion of Kathleen Edwards's third album, so why bother resisting? She is a Canadian folk-rocker who lures you in with melodic song-stories about hard-bitten lives, then holds you there with her gorgeously bittersweet voice.

This album sounds a lot like the addictive "Back to Me" from 2005, unfolding as a series of haunting, hook-filled portraits punctuated by the good-humored joshing that defines her new single, "The Cheapest Key."But "Asking for Flowers" shows Edwards maturing as a songwriter and a singer, too. Her ordinary characters - the guy dodging the draft in the poignant "Oil Man's War," the woman done wrong in the title cut - are subtly placed in a socio-political context so that the album has a broader scope. And her voice is slightly less rough this time out and a little prettier, but still far from the constraints of perfection. She locks in on the song, not the singing.
