Here we are, Weston, on the cusp of crazy. To be real, some of us dipped into that well a looooong time ago, but it turns out what I actually mean is calendar crazy. I hear you all complaining about March weather and being holed up, but blah blah blah because April and May in Weston are CRAZY and then
Read moreDid you know that Weston is one of either fifteen or twenty (depends on who you believe) communities in the Charles River Climate Compact? Yes, you do because the Owl told you about it when the Flood Model was being discussed at the Select Board earlier this month. And you probably also read the very exciting summary (fine, the Weston

Read moreThe Owl is re-posting the following write-up from the Weston Fire Department with their permission. All images are theirs. Also, our fire department rules and is nothing like the Tacoma Fire Department (HBO Max, not the actual one, about which I have zero information). ++ Yesterday, Saturday February 26, just before noon the Weston Fire Department was dispatched along with
Read moreThis winter public school break for the Owls has been an interesting glimpse into the return to tourism and an old stomping (scuba-ing, really) grounds, and a first time at an all-inclusive resort.

Bring your own sled, your own kids (or ones you have prior permission to bring), and hit the sledding hill hard. Snow-person

Before snapping on her skis and visiting the forest she has missed, it’s time to catch up a bit on all of the best of Weston. One presentation, in particular, has caught the Owl eye…BEES! Having spent the

Read moreOkay, so the Owl lied. She hasn’t quite flitted off–and therefore will drop this latest episode of Weston Media Center’s “The Wes-TEN: Weston’s most exciting news, people and events in ten minutes or less, between two pines.” It is the 28th episode and this one focuses on Sustainability and the work of Weston’s Sustainability Coordinator who joined us at this
Read moreThe Owl will temporarily stop publication this week for a well-deserved vacation, hopefully unlike the freezy vacation these snowy owls take in Duxbury and Plum Island. They are a hardy lot.
