Grantwriting, Research, Farmwork & Training
Shelburne Falls, Ashfield & Cape Cod As I work on updating this calendar, the birds are flocking to the feeders outside of my office window, fending off the cold with food. Haven't had as much snow as my family would like this winter, but there's still time. For now, I'm planning next years garden, ordering seeds, cutting some cordwood, and getting ready to start plants. And, as you can see below, even though it's winter I'm starting to put together next summer's calender. Looks to be busier than I expected, in spite of the economic hard times. If you are interested in block booking a performance, you should probably give me a call soon, since the calendar is filling up fast. Hope you are weathering the times ok, and that the season is treating you kindly. Best, Davis.
