Or at least a weed on the tennis court. It has been cheerful for the last couple of weeks when I take Maia to chase her ball on the tennis court, so I took its picture this morning.

Nice weather for fungi
When you say “September weather” in New England, you think of sunny, dry, maybe a little nippy in the morning, maybe warm and sunny in the afternoon. But we’ve mostly been getting the other kind — cloudy hazy, and opressively humid. Humans like the first kind better, but the fungi love the second. Here’s one growing around the corner from me.

Playing opportunity
The Boston Recorder
Society has announced their schedule of meetings for the
year. They’re low on details (since they can’t hire thousands of
coaches until thousands of players sign up), but the loud band has
been a particularly good place to play loud wind instruments the
past few years, and has enough experienced people to overcome even
mediocre coaches. The recorder groups are usually coached by good
people. You can sign up on their website.
If this isn’t enough to make you want to write a check, go to the
first meeting on September 17 at 6PM in the old Sears building in
Porter Square and you can have a free meeting to see if you want
to join.
