Beautiful warm spring weather; flowers in full bloom.
Ice-cream for breakfast. A morning at Gore place, spent sitting on the grass, basking in the sun. Watching Alpacas and goats; sheep being sheared.
Followed by fresh fava beans, green almonds, Muhammara and Baklava at Arax in Watertown.
An evening spent in pleasant company. Walking around the lovely, lovely Mt.Auburn cemetery where lie buried, among others, H.W.Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes. And demitasse shot of luscious hot chocolate at L.A.Burdick.
And to end, a wonderful, unexpected recital of Brahms and Mendelssohn by the Cambridge Chamber Players at the Dunster House Library.
And to think, as of 10 a.m. this morning, I had no plans for the day.

Does sound just about perfect. This Gore place thing is a revelation.
Ah, Mt. Auburn Cemetery. And also ah, L.A. Burdick.
Good memories!
Ludwig: Spring makes suffering through the winter seem almost worth it, no?
I guess they do this sheep shearing at Gore Place every year. Only heard about it this year around!
How long did you live in Cambridge?
> almost
Oh, well worth it, even if lasts for 3.64 seconds. Just the everything-thrumming-with-life part is enough...

Between Slummaville (Porter and Davis) and Cambridge (almost on the Arlington town line off Mass Ave, the other end of the street was actually in Somerville!) 4 years and 4 months.
Ludwig: No one calls somerville Slummarville any more. It's become quite gentrified, of late (or so I'm told, since I have no basis for comparison). I live right between Harvard and Central. Expensive, but the location is well worth it. Been here 9 months or so (was in Waltham before- bloody awful, it was).
Are u like a PhD Student somewhere ? Last heard - u were some kind of an MS student Somewhere near Boston
Now - I dunno Tufts, Harvard or MIT ?
Must be good fun - living in New England - all this time, eh ?
