Making artificial poppies is a long-standing tradition and today we all pitched in to help the local Veterans Affairs assemble poppies. Close to 400 poppies were assembled and we had a good time sharing stories and remembering our own experiences with the symbolic poppy.

Today at Clark Meadows, Katherine McGrath lead the Music History series with a new topic.  Great Concuctors, such as Marin Alsop, Lorin Verncove Maazel, Herbert von Karajan, Juliette Nadia Boulanger, and Fritz Reiner were featured.  So interesting to learn about the different styles and what all those hand gestures and arm motions mean!

May Day!

May Day!

Sunshine!  Glorious sunshine!  Together, staff and residents celebrated May Day (May 1st) with fanfare.  The weather forecast was for rain, but to our delight the sun came out and the temperature rose!  Our Maypole ribbons wafted in the wind as we gathered folks to sit along the sidewalk (6 feet apart).  Some were able to peer out their windows.  The joy of a Spring day was felt by all.  The traditions of May Day date back to ancient times.  Early May Day celebrations began with the Floralia, a festival honoring Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers.  Our Maypole dance brought forth memories from our residents of a bygone era of Spring celebrations of their youth.  May baskets were also delivered to celebrate the day.  We are so happy to welcome the month of May!
