We had the pleasure to spend the morning shooting interviews and footage at Ferjulians Farm in Hudson MA. Those peaches are delicious, and the Ferjulians family is amazing. Definitely worth a visit! Can’t wait to edit a series of short films to tell the Ferjulians’ story. 🍑

We like Calla lilies. We bought a pot of them at the grocery store about a month ago, and they’re still going strong. But when one of the blossoms starts to go by, we put it in a little vase with its fellow elderly blossoms. Compared to the dramatic maroon blossoms in the plant pot, these are almost colorless, but they retain their elegant shape and look beautiful in a different way for several more weeks.

In these two years of global struggle and loss, the truths that inspired The Tidings feel more comforting than ever, a reality I am discovering afresh after my parents died 16 days apart in November.

It has been good to be in the presence of siblings and friends able to authentically hold both grief and hope.

It has been healing to join forces with our sweet little band of singers and musicians as we prepare for this, it turns out, well-timed concert.

I hope you can join us.

The Salem Athenaeum may be one of the most beautiful and least understood organizations on the North Shore.
