A truly stunning sighting to happen upon the other day. And thank you to Marlene, master gardener volunteer at UMass Amherst for identifying the insect and providing additional information about this moth. Marlene also provided a list of insect identification resources that we can all find helpful. Enjoy the summer months and all its interesting insects.

I heard this beautiful Michael Gettel song, "Lantern in the Dark" this morning and it sparked a memory of this photo from December 2015. As the holidays and the start of winter are upon us, it's always wise and welcoming to have a lantern that lights your path in the winter days ahead. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Everyone has a story to tell but it's how we live out the story that determines if it's another sleeper or a bestseller. The same could be said for how we design our homes and our landscapes. Like a great story, your home and garden can only be captivating with a flow and rhythm that speaks your presence. The saying of 'a home isn't really a home if you don't truly live in it' can clearly relate to your gardens and landscape. A well-executed design on paper becomes nothing more than exterior window dressing if you can't draw one into it. Like your home, your landscape should tell your story. And everyone has a story to tell. It's whether you want to make it a sleeper or a bestseller.

Every April, the profession of landscape architecture is celebrated. Known as World Landscape Architecture Month, (WLAM) is a month-long international celebration of landscape architecture and designed public and private spaces. This year's theme, 'Life Grows Here,' is a welcomed message. With the recent COVID-19 restrictions, we are all forced to stay local so what better way to celebrate? Find something homegrown within your own community. In Massachusetts, we fortunately have a wonderful organization called the The Trustees of Reservations plus it has important historical ties to the LA (landscape architecture) world. Founded in 1891 by Charles Eliot, a visionary landscape architect from Boston, Eliot based the Trustees of Reservations' start on "the bold idea that people and places are interconnected, and that preserving our natural and cultural landscapes is key to protecting everyone’s quality of life." How important that same message is 129 years later, especially during these strange and difficult times. Open spaces, these...
