A Stop By Googans Galley

Since we were in Essex recently, we stopped by Googans Galley on Martin Street. They offer a wide range of eclectic items (many local vendors) but their fresh bakery items are the highlight for me. We picked up a scone and slice of banana bread to savor later but we very much enjoyed checking out the freezer items, dry goods and more (Cape Ann Sea Salt for one!).

Fleeting Moments — pat morss

An assortment of recent photo opportunities.

Fishing boat speeding home, passing our sailboat ‘Troll.’
The profile of ‘Mother Ann’ has welcomed fishermen home for generations.
I much prefer her profile looking from shore out to sea.
Inside-out beach umbrella during a sudden wind squall.
‘Virginia’ dropping in on her way from Bath, Maine to participate in Sail Boston.
An orange sky under full sun, caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires.
Mother Goose teaching her goslings how to bottom feed.
Regal Eddy (the Great) Egret poses while relaxing.
But it’s all business when he’s fishing, in periscope mode.
While competing at Niles Pond with a Little Blue Heron.
Mix of recovering molting males, and female Mallards.

Browse Borrow Board

Did you know you could digitally borrow reading material from the Boston Public Library for your MBTA train ride? I noticed this signage with QR code on the sidewalk at the West Gloucester train station recently and decided to give it a try. It’s a statewide program to allow patrons to borrow reading material on a short term basis without an app. Without an app! Just Browse Borrow and Board. More details here. It worked like a charm for our recent trip to North Station. Take a note!

This little cute chickadee was inside looking out

The other day, in the screened in porch, heard a flapping noise. This cutie was stuck looking out look of the screens. We opened all the doors and talked the little bird into flying outside. Felt bad when the bird was panicking.
