. This morning the Owl received her embossed gold-leaf invitation to attend the Weston High School Class of 2023 Graduation this Friday, June 2 at 5 pm. Fine, that’s an exaggeration but I did receive a Weston public schools communication inviting the whole Weston town and schools community to attend and clap out (metaphorically, and NEVER EVER glitter bombing on
Read more. So technically the Owl is not back yet but realized she forgot to post about one of her favorite events today at Town Green–Garlic Mustard Annihilation! Yes, Weston, it’s kill or be killed–well, not really, but that garlic mustard will take over your native plants and who needs it, except to make some awesome pesto? Here are the details:

So either she’s having a meltdown, or we are about to. Ah well, Weston, it won’t last. It never lasts–this is New England. So let’s look at some Spring events. Friday April 7 through Sunday,

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, July 6, you
Read moreOkay, Weston, it is time to stop being interesting so I can get out of here for a little R&R&S (“S” for soccer of which there will be a lot in my life for the next two weeks). It is impossible not to plug the Summer Concert Series which is led by Weston Recreation and sponsored by Cambridge Trust, because

With luck and weather cooperation, Weston will send off its Class of 2022 graduates into the great big world at 6 pm 5:30 pm today.
