Wreath of the Day – Pet Friendly Wreath

Toxicity is an issue with many holiday decorations if you live with a cat or a dog, and the wreath is hung inside. As materials dry they fall to the ground and can easily be accidentally ingested. No one looks forward to Christmas Eve at Angell Memorial. Below is a wreath created with pets in mind – nothing here will do harm unless it falls off a nail from a great height and hits the poor kitty on the head. And, of course, it’s beautiful.


Friday, March 20 – Thursday, April 2 – Tour Sicily

Join TCLF as we explore the breathtaking treasures of Sicily’s archaeological sites, historic cities, landscapes, and gardens. Sicily’s unique history defines its culture and civilization, which are reflected in the distinctive attitudes and bonds shared by its people. Walk the streets of Taormina, perched high above the Ionian Sea, and explore the ruins of its Greco-Roman theater in the shadow of Mt. Etna. Travel back in time to Catania and Siracusa and experience the grandeur and beauty of one of Sicily’s oldest and largest palaces. And dine with Virginia Borghese, the daughter-in-law of Princess Maria Carla Borghese, at the lovely family villa in Lentini.

We’ll also explore the Temple of Apollo, one of the many tangible reminders of Sicily’s Greek past. Our classical journey will continue in Selinunte by the sea, Segesta’s mountains, and, of course, Palermo, where we’ll savor the flavors of the city’s Saracen history while surrounded by Norman-inspired mosaics. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience centuries of Sicilian art, culture, and landscapes firsthand, all while enjoying the best of what modern Sicily has to offer. The trip takes place March 20 – April 3, and complete itinerary may be found at https://tclf.org/sicily-tour-archaeological-sites-historic-cities-landscapes-and-more
