Most folks look forward to holiday weekends: me, not so much. Actually I am grateful for the opportunity to work in such a lovely setting ( I work a few days a week at Naumkeag), a lovely old mansion, museum and gardens owned and managed by the Trustees of Reservations, a non profit organization owning 116 properties throughout Massachusetts. This is the 125th anniversary of the Trustees and there are all kinds of celebrations happening this season. This weekend is the beginning of our season. We opened in April for weekends only and as of tomorrow we are open seven days a week.
It will be hot but we will be busy and being busy is so much better than being bored. I am working with people I like and learn from and we have visitors from around the world. So it is a holiday weekend but I am working and that is OK with me.
