Home Sweet Home!
We’re back, and this month you’ll be pleased to see the return of our Annual Home & Real Estate Issue.
March has always been the gateway to a new season; it’s the time of year when we notice breaks in the weather, accompanied by the first signs that spring is quickly approaching; it also means the housing market is heating up—just in time for summer occupancy.

We’ve been fortunate this winter season, except for a few inclement days; overall, we were spared any of the usual drastic conditions New England is known for; but what is truly remarkable is the unseasonable weather has allowed for a significant number of changes, improvements, and tactics for those in the business of selling homes.
Being one of the building blocks of America’s economic foundation, real estate always has a place in a personal portfolio. Whether it is a primary luxury residence, seaside summer cottage, mountain retreat, or rental property that will build equity, owning a ‘piece of property’ has always been a wise investment.
Also, this month we are pleased—and excited—to highlight the world-famous James Beard Awards winners. Found under our
“Table” section, we bring you a long list of local and regional winners you’ll want to visit and enjoy the best in the culinary arts and in the beverage service industries.
A monthly favorite, “Intimacy,” features some advice about those considering, or are already in a long-distance relationship. These connections are not that unusual in today’s dating world, but they require some tools to help make your love relationship satisfying. We round out the month with a look at a piece about how ‘bad news’ can have a detrimental effect on mental hygiene, along with an essay on depression. With the recent news of a family tragedy in Duxbury, Massachusetts, it is crucial that we all learn the warning signs of the disorder and how we can make a difference in others’ lives.
Finally, it isn’t too early to plan a visit to Tanglewood; we share all the information you’ll need to enjoy a day or weekend in the Berkshires.
Take the time to pour your favorite beverage, and enjoy the thrill of finding your next home and a delicious meal.
Be well—be safe. H
