Former red house next to the Beehive

Second house next to the Beehive was also demolished this past week.  There are for sale signs in front of both, so the owner must be looking to sell lots.  It is a big parcel, much wet, but I seem to recall being told that uses are limited to use of the existing house footprint.

Beehive house demolished

The house at the corner of Harding and West Mill Streets, known as the Beehive, was demolished this past week, with the red single story house next to it also coming down. 

I am guessing that the owner waited out the demolition delay period, as there seemed to be activity around the house about a year ago, and then a long period of inactivity.  Another part of Harding’s history is gone.

Woodcocks have returned

I thought I was hearing woodcocks last week in the twilight as I got home, and then Friday evening while walking to the Kingsbury Club I saw one clearly against the sky as it flew up off the ground when I flushed it by walking nearby. A sure sign of spring in my neighborhood, and one that probably took me a couple of Yeats to figure out what I was seeing as I witnessed their mating flights and listened to their calls in the spring twilight as I walked my golden.

Read at Memorial School

It is Reads Across America today, a national reading out loud day, because it is close to Dr. Seuss’ birthday.  To celebrate, Memorial School invites community people in to read to the children.

I had the honor and fun of reading The Tub People to Kristen’s former  kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Hedberg’s class, sitting where I sat with Kristen eight years ago.  However, Mrs. Hedberg has a really cool looking Smart Board that was not there eight years ago.

Reading at Memorial Sch. tomorrow
