While passing through Pennsylvania on our recent road trip, Mommyo, pointing: “Now that’s a decrepit old barn.” The Six-Year-Old, enlightened: “Oh! So that’s what decrepit means!”…
After passing several fallen trees on our way to school yesterday, my daughter asked if she could prepare a special report for Caterpickles on how Hurricane Sandy affected Dedham, Walpole, and Norwood Massachusetts (aka my daughter’s stomping grounds).
A few weeks ago, The Five-Year-Old and I had the opportunity to meet Cathy Gruetzke-Blais, the artist who painted the Regal Rabbit. Normally, I like to hold these artist interviews at the bunnies themselves. I find it helps focus a certain wildly roving mind on the topic at hand. But since the Regal Rabbit sits on a busy street corner, we decided to meet at Ben & Jerry’s instead.
For the 15th installment of her photodocumentary about the Dedham Public Art Project, The Five-Year-Old visited the Pete Hamilton Race Car Rabbit by Dawn Evans Scaltreto. At the time, the rabbit was stationed on Route 1 in Dedham Massachusetts.
This week, The Five-Year-Old and I had the opportunity to meet Susan Angevin, the artist who painted Not So Silent Spring. At the time, local readers could find the bunny sitting outside the Dedham Massachusetts Public Library at 43 Church Street.
For the fourteenth installment of her photodocumentary on the rabbits in the 2012 Dedham Public Art Project, The Five-Year-Old traveled out to Foxboro to interview Sarah Jane Cassie and Martha Taylor, the artists who painted Totem, The Mother Rabbit.
As we mentioned last week, the entire Caterpickles Clan is thrilled that after millions of dollars in renovations and two years of very hard work by the theatre’s new owner Susan Lewis, the Norwood Theatre has finally reopened! The grand reopening gala happened August 31st, 2012–85 years after the theatre’s original opening on August 31st, 1927.
For the 13th installment of her photo series on the Dedham Public Art Project, The Five-Year-Old visited Lady Bugs Bunny. At the time, Lady Bugs was living under the overpass at Dedham Crossing.
For her 12th entry in her photo series on the Dedham Public Art Project, The Five-Year-Old visited “Regal Rabbit” by Catherine Gruetzke-Blais. At the time, local readers could find the bunny at the East Dedham Shopping Plaza on the corner of Bussey and High Streets in Dedham Massachusetts.
The eleventh entry in The Five-Year-Old’s ongoing Photo Documentary series about the Dedham Public Art Project. This week, The Five-Year-Old met Jester by Liza Abelson. At the time, local readers could find Jester at the Dolan Center at 269 Common Street in Dedham Massachusetts.
