April

Sweet April, you've finally arrived! We made it through this historic winter and now that the snow is beginning to melt, I think it's safe to say that we are all feeling a little bit like this guy...

So what have we been up to since mid-March?  Well first we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a wonderful concert featuring the talented Richard Travers.  Richard gave us a "Tour of Ireland" complete with songs from all over the Emerald Isle as well as a few silly jokes.  We sipped on Irish Coffee and enjoyed the Irish soda bread and music to go along with it.  Enjoy the photos below...

On a recent trip to The Butterfly Place in Westford, MA, we were immersed by hundreds of beautiful butterflies, koi fish, and small birds enjoying the warm temperatures of their indoor habitat.  The Great Mormon Butterfly (among others) seemed to take a particular liking to Gail...we were told that the color of her sweater actually attracted them to her!

Apparently butterflies run on Dunkins too!

Annie has been working hard over in Aldridge House transitioning the decor to all things spring.  Check out her photos and hard work below - great job Annie!

 

We can't give ALL the credit to Annie, here's a photo of Andy delivering fresh flower arrangements to the Aldridge dining room.

 

See you next month!
