There are many things I love about living in Roslindale, but one of the highlights this time of year are the events going on in the Square. The Roslindale Village Main Street program is a strong local group that organizes and promotes the weekly Farmer's Market and puts together events like music and movies in the square that happen throughout the summer. They are currently in the feasibility stage of discussions about starting a Winter Farmer's Market as well.

It was a hot and humid day, and the band this week was appropriately called "The Beachcombers". They played Dick Dale-style music and they had the square hoppin'!

Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...
The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
