The lane is changing each day and trees around the house are looking color drenched.

Day trip to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to find out more. Parking is a problem for sure, but it is a small and interesting place, focused on doing good work researching and understanding our oceans. It is desperately in need of the donations from titans of industry, the buildings are dilapidated.

Dinner (finally) at Little Moss in Padanaram, worth it despite the strict reservation process. Everything felt (and tasted) special. I love small restaurants owned by people who love and care about delicious food. By keeping it small there is the ability to focus on quality.

Long holiday weekend ahead planting bulbs, spreading wood chips and moving shrubs. Hunting down specimen trees for spring color.

Side note: one of the most comforting things I’ve found after scanning the depressing and repetitive headlines of the NYT - the cooking section and particularly the comments readers leave on recipes of interest.

The number of comments on butter, vanilla or flour and how to tweak the measurements makes me smile every time!
