The deadline for our weekly photo contest is 5 p.m. Monday.
Cupid has come and gone, but he has likely left behind proof of his visit. If you haven't entered our Valentine's Day photo contest yet, it's not too late. The deadline to upload photos in the contest is 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18. Want to show us what you received or gave for Valentine's Day? Have some cute couple photos or pictures of the kids? If you haven't entered yet (or, if you'd like to enter more photos), simply click on this link and follow the easy instructions to upload. (Please make sure to follow the above link to enter the contest; while you are welcome to upload pictures here, this is not the contest page and therefore your photos won't count as an official entry.)

For Valentine's Day, tell us what you love most about the town you call home.
Whether it’s the local schools, the bakery, or the proximity from home to a great hiking trail, everyone has something they love about their community.

Here's a history of Valentine's Day as told by the Medfield Historical Society.
The following article, by co-authors Jo Ellen Collins and Cheryl O'Malley, was taken from The Portal, the newsletter of the Medfield Historical Society. Do You Know the Origins of Valentine's Day? Every February 14, across the United States and in many places around the world, loved ones exchange candy, flowers, gifts, and especially, cards, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did our present-day traditions come from? The history of Valentine's Day--and the story of its patron saint-- is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But…

An interview with local florist Lorraine D'Angelo Lee of Designs by Lorraine.
Valentine's Day is the busiest day of the year for Designs by Lorraine, the florist shop on the Medfield/Millis town line owned by Medfield resident Lorraine D'Angelo-Lee. "I'm every guy's best friend on Valentine's Day," says D'Angelo-Lee, adding that the trend is always roses. "It's just what men want; I think it's a mindset with them that roses mean love," she said. But she tries to mix it up for the customers (and the recipients at home). "I try to have them think about more spring flowers like freesia, tulips, lilies and calla lilies then add some roses because I think you should buy roses when they're not in high demand -- the quality's better and the price is lower -- but it's hard to convince them to try something different," …
Valentine's Day is Thursday, Feb. 14.
It's that time of year again: Valentine's Day. Some people look forward to it, some people dread it, some people aren't quite sure what to do about it, and that's where we come in. Patch is here to help you make the most out of February 14th. First, do you know what you're getting your significant other, if anything? Do you know what he or she wants? Do you have any idea, or are you guessing? While flowers are usually appreciated, they are not always preferred. Some folks prefer jewelry, sweets (maybe a vase filled with her favorite candy), gift certificates, a nice bottle of wine, or just a quiet night in. But some people prefer a more practical gift like clothes (maybe something in red or pink), a helpful household item, or even a car…
