It’s officially June which means long days, warm temperatures, sunny skies and….PATIO SEASON! There is nothing better than summers in Needham, Natick, Wellesley, and any other Boston Metrowest community, and HGTV has some awesome tips on how you can spruce up your patio this season!

Durable Patio Furniture is a must when you want the materials to stand up to summer and fall storms, especially when made from concrete materials. Accent pillows can add some color and fun to your furniture.

Fire Pits always make an outdoor gathering more fun. Not only not it keep you and your guests warm on cool evenings, but it also creates a perfect conversational area (and a place for the kids to roast s’mores!).

Pergolas are beautiful structures that add shade and comfort on sunny days. Pair with a grilling area and a cute bistro table and you will have an outdoor space you will never want to leave!

String Lights create a gorgeous ambience! You can put lights inside an umbrella, or along your pergola, really anywhere in your backyard!

Accessorize!!!! Patio furniture doesn’t have to be boring or uninspired. Spice up your outdoor living space with pieces from local artists, or a cool antique. Have fun with it!

Memorial Day is THIS MONDAY! And while this long holiday weekend most often signifies the beginning of summer with the kids out of school, pools opening, picnics and BBQs with friends and family, and overall celebration, we must remember WHY we have this holiday. Memorial Day is here for us to remember the sacrifice made by men and women who have served our country in order for us to enjoy the freedom that is so important to Americans. So please remember to take a moment to thank our veterans this weekend, and every day.

On This Memorial Day

By Emily Toma

Remember those who served before.

Remember those who are no more.

Remember those who serve today.

Remember them as we eat and play.

Remember our protectors-

who are not home today.

Remember them all on Memorial Day.

There is one thing that almost every single person strives for in life…. HAPPINESS! And we are HAPPY to announce that NEEDHAM (#3) and WELLESLEY (#7) made the top ten!!

So how do you determine what makes people happy? It has to be how much money they have, right? NO!! To come up with the list of happiest towns in Massachusetts, career expert Zippa took 115 towns over 2,000 people and used SEVEN pieces of criteria to analyze... (1) being well educated, (2) having a job, (3) short commute to work, (4) low cost of living, (5) having a family, (6) owning a home, and (7) low poverty rate.

Research found that Needham (with a population of 29,540) has 80.2% of it’s people owning a home and 62.6% of the adult population is married.  Being situated only ten miles from Boston and having five train stops throughout town, also makes Needham an excellent city for commuters! In the beautiful tree-lined town of Wellesley (population of 28,858), 78% own a home and 54.6% of adults are married. This community was also recently named one of the “Best Places to Live,” with its high quality of education in Wellesley’s public school being a large contributor to that.

Congrats to Needham and Wellesley for making your communities such HAPPY places to live!
