WE ARE in the middle of a sudden heat wave … it was over 90° in Boston yesterday, Easter day, and I had a blazzing hot drive to Concord to have Easter dinner with Judy’s family and take Judy a little Easter basket of chocolate eggs with a tiny bunch of crocuses, scillas, glory-of-the-snow in the middle. Phyllis and Timmy have a genius for making family gatherings easy and graceful, and I love being part of the group, ranging in age from eight to eighty.
