A recent summer Sunday afternoon at Tanglewood was perfect. We arrived early enough to get a spot under a tree with just a bit of dappled sunlight coming through the leaves. There was a delightful breeze blowing all afternoon. We've been a few times now so we are getting it down. The blanket was spread out over a tarp so all the recent moisture would not seep through. The mini table was assembled and adorned with the place settings and wine glasses. The chairs were laid out.
On the way, we stopped and picked up cheeses and meats at Rubiner's Cheesemongers in Great Barrington as well as a great chevre from Rawson Brook Farm in Monterey. Beautiful deserts came from
Gould Farm in Monterey. Finally, we picked up a soft, crusty potato bread made with roasted potatoes, onions and rosemary from
Berkshire Mountain Bakery in Housatonic. We opened some wine (and some more) while we caught up on some reading, listed to Beethoven, Bruch and Dvořák and enjoyed just being present.
We are so grateful to our friends Ed & Angela! They were the first ones to introduce us to
Tanglewood and spark our love of the Berkshires.
