Book club at the Arb

Two things you can always counts on about book club at Bartlett Arboretum: you'll go home smelling like camp fire smoke and you'll have some nice snaps of the day.

Robin Macy, who owns the arb and lives there, always shows us a good time. She builds the fire herself, feeds it, and even makes our mulled cider inside it. Here she's squeezing the juice of a fresh orange into the pot of cider.


Everyone gathered round to talk about this month's selection, Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight." Very few people liked it. It is written for teenagers, after all, so I don't think it resonated with most of us, quite understandably so.
