When our darkest dreams become real...reality becomes a nightmare!For 10,000 years, Count Magnus Lee has walked the night, sustained by an unholy thirst for blood and an unending lust for human women. But when he tastes the sweet nectar running through Doris Lang's veins, the Count knows he has found more than his next meal: this is the woman he intends to claim as his next vampire bride.

If you don't have seedlings, no worries! You don't have to contribute seedlings to pick them up.

Email mamasgardeningcollective @ gmail . com, subject: Seedling swap. Image description: The text written above is green and brown, on a warm, tan background. At the bottom of the image, there's a gray bucket with plant leaves poking out, an orange watering can, a box of sprouting seedlings, and a plant blooming yellow flowers out of a terracotta pot. These four items sit on a ground of dirt and are illustrated to look hand drawn with rough textures.".

#DeanKamen at the MOS
Free with pre-registration.
“A Conversation with Inventor Dean Kamen at 7 p.m. at the Museum of Science, 1 Science Park, Boston, on the Cambridge border. Free with registration. Kamen discusses his and his company’s work on human health innovations, including robotic arms, insulin delivery systems and more. (Kamen may yet be most famous for the Segway mobility device – which, bizarrely, in 2001 drew predictions from Steve Jobs it would be “as significant as the personal computer” and praise for being “revolutionary” from Jeff Bezos.) President of the museum Tim Ritchie joins.”
