  • Swan Lake

    Welcome to Swan Lake Pool… Summer Sundays are for swimming with the swans.  The swan , that is. The pet swan. We call him Swanson because he is a part of the family now. Swanson has quite the fabulous life. Basking in the sun all day long and herding around his miniature flamingo followers, he is very happy here. I know what you’re thinking……

To make up for it, however, a trip to Blackbird Doughnuts in the South End was in order this weekend. These doughnuts are hands-down the BEST in Boston. Doughnuts are all they do day in and day…

    Cold Brews

    Cold brew coffee was made for Fridays in the summer. With a different, somehow lighter and fruitier flavor than regularly brewed coffee, cold brew is so much more refreshing. Its important to distinguish between regular iced coffee, which has been brewed with hot water and then chilled, while cold brew coffee is actually brewed with cold water. In total, the process takes much…
