    Do you wake up hungry? Many of our pollinators do; Do you wake up hungry? Many of our pollinators do; and many have trouble when they hunt for food in late March through early May. Help them out by adding some spring ephemerals to your garden—plants that take advantage of the short window of sunlight available before deciduous trees leaf out.

These plants complete most of their life cycle within just a few weeks in early spring, making them a fleeting but essential part of the ecosystem. Spring ephemerals play a crucial role in forest biodiversity, providing early-season nectar for pollinators and enriching the soil as they decay.

    When Paul McInnis signed up for his first marathon When Paul McInnis signed up for his first marathon in 2022, he was not a distance runner. “I had no idea what I was doing,” he said. “Running a marathon is like nothing you’ve done before - it’s a learning curve of mental as well as physical training to stay focused that long, running in all weather.” More than three years later, on Monday, April 21, McInnis ran his third consecutive Boston Marathon as part of the Miles for Miracles team, raising money for Boston Children’s Hospital, in memory of his son, William, who passed away in January 2022 after suffering a cardiac arrest due to long QT syndrome, a rare, inherited condition. McInnis specifically supports the Inherited Cardiac Rhythm Department at Boston Children’s Hospital, who researches the disease. “This means that every dollar I raise goes directly to the incredible team that took care of William,” he said.

In Wayland, where the high school experience focuses on preparation for college, a student can feel like they're being thrown into the circus. With each of our moves under a glaring spotlight, we’re expected to juggle as much as we possibly can and as best we can to see if, just maybe, we can impress the audience.
