One of the features I enjoy most about perennials is their ability to alter the complexion of my garden every month. Whether they are coming into bloom or going out, they are always interesting. As the overall shape of each plant changes throughout the season, so does the personality of my garden.
Music is an international language and it reaches out to all people. This fact is illustrated in the faces of the musicians of Voices of the Village, who are opening the series of four concerts in Arlington’s Music in the Park in Legion Park on Thursday nights in August.
Several Shakespeare shows are going on in the area this weekend.
A resident of Tulalip, J.R. (Judith) Nakken attempted mayhem before using stories to turn her life around.
It’s true that there are certain words in the English vocabulary that evoke a very predictable response. In the case of gardeners, it’s the “F” word. Now don’t panic. This is not going to be an “R” rated column and I have no intention of using the queen mother of cuss words throughout this text. But there is a four-letter word that starts with “F” that sends gardeners into a whirling fit of ecstasy. That word of course is FREE.
An Arlington resident, Ryan Edwards plays Lefou, the nutty sidekick of Gaston, in his sixth show with the Stanwood-Camano Island-based musical theater group, Lyric Light Opera, which is presenting “Beauty and the Beast,” the story of a strong-willed young woman who, through the power of love, breaks a spell that turned a handsome young prince into a hideous beast.
ARLINGTON — The Fourth of July in Arlington begins with Pancakes in the Park at 7 a.m., in Haller Park, when registration for the Pedal, Paddle, Puff runs from 8 - 9 a.m. until the race starts at 10:30 a.m. The Pedal, Paddle, Puff triathlon begins at Haller Park with the bicyclists riding up river to River Meadows County Park on Jordan Road. The paddlers in canoes and kayaks then proceed down stream back to Haller Park, where they hand the baton to the runners (a.k.a. puffers). The runners head east on Burke Street to Twin Rivers Park and back to Haller Park.
The artist who created the “Overhead Underfoot” works on display in the Arlington City Council Chambers, Kathryn Glowen is always coming up with some new idea. This past year, she spent all winter sewing “yoyos” out of vintage silk ties and instead of using them on a pillow or a quilt like most people, she assembled the little puckered wads of silk into circles and various patterns on paper and added some paint in a body of work she calls “Wonder/Allotment Gardens.”
Normally, most of us think of June as summer. After all, June is when our kids go on summer vacation. June also contains the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. In fact, after June 21, the days actually start getting shorter (now there’s a depressing thought). So the feeling that June should be summer is fairly normal. Except that in the northwest, summer really doesn’t start until July (some would say July 5th).
Last year’s Strawberry Festival Ambassador, Brooklynn El Fattal learned a lot of dance routines this year for her performance in the Northwest Savoyards’ production of “The Music Man.” She and her two sisters are performing as River City Teens and River City Kids in the chorus of Meredith Willson’s musical about a fast-talking traveling salesman who intends to con the people of River City until he falls for Marian the librarian.
Arlington artist Christina Harvey is showing 33 paintings at Lake Steven’s City Hall. Harvey grew up in a family of artists and received a Bachelor of Fine Art in 1976. She worked as a technical illustrator and graphic designer, painting on the side through the years. Now since she retired in 2002, Harvey is very happy to have time to focus on painting, averaging about 18 paintings a year.
ARLINGTON — Five actors are playing all the parts in William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” complete with sword fighting and vials of poison, at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center Friday, May 16.
