BSO and Tanglewood Festival Chorus run a gantlet with Beethoven’s ‘Missa solemnis’ - The Boston Globe

The chorus deserves extra flowers for an explosive peformance.

I'm just happy I live in greater Boston area; currently on a (very full) city bus and I see tons of people walking on the streets at 9:20pm.

Had a text convo with a friend about a neighborhood bakery near me. Friend complains there's no parking *at* the bakery when there are literally lots of street parking within 2 blocks. Just never occurred to them that they can walk > 1 block ...

It's the closest to my house and o can only stomach going there once every 3 months to stock up.

And if they don't have the item I want in stock then I'm SOL for another 3 months 😭

Hope your plants survived? We covered a couple but seems like the temps didn't go as low as predicted. I would love to see more of these blooms for another week or more

Off SM for 5 hours to spend time with old friends and their family: shared a delicious lunch, laughed a lot, and saw some fall foliage

Highly recommend 🍂🎃💦🛞

Also, do not recommend coming home to doomscroll

Beautiful fall day in New England with blue skies, trees with orange foliage, a wooden wagon filled with pumpkins and wooden signs that say "MUMS" and "LOCAL HONEY"

A stone building with a large red waterwheel on its outside wall, and a waterfall in the back of the building. You can see fall foliage and blue skies in the background

Yes lots of dahlias & zinnias!

(Looking to buying a few new dahlia varieties for next season, suggestions?)

#bloomscrolling

3 vases of dahlias- 2 varieties. One small deep burgundy and one medium white with fuschia petal tips

A tabletop with multiple vases of mostly cut dahlias, plus a few orange and pink zinnias

Exactly how I feel about Nelsons's conducting most of the time

y2000k @y2000k.bsky.social · 5d

The large one is commercial, the mini ones are the ones she made. Regardless she's an amazing cook and can make all sorts of things from scratch that I would never consider doing so myself!
