Samuel Langhorne Clemens Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, (1835-1910)
Best known by his pen name, Mark Twain, Clemens was a giant of American humor and letters. A Missouri native, he had brief careers as a miner and a river boat pilot before his short stories began to receive widespread notice. He was the keenest wit of his age and wrote what many call the greatest of American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). Through a series of bad investments he lost all of the money he made from his books and a good deal of his wife’s substantial inheritance, which motivated him to begin many years of international speaking tours. The money from these performances eventually overcame his debt and added to his fame. He was a friend and advisor to presidents, scholars, and scientists, Nicola Tesla chief among them. Born when Halley’s comet was in the sky, he died, as he predicted, when it returned.

Last Chance To See Northern Exposure show at Hall Haskell House Today!
Northern Exposure show at Hall Haskell House September 26 -29.
Scenes of New England surround the walls of the historic Hall Haskell House in Ipswich. Artists Jeannette Steele Esposito and Anne Costello have represented New England in the brilliant colors of the four seasons, both in studio work and plain air paintings.
Esposito, an Ipswich resident, is an artist member of the Rockport and Newburyport Art Associations, she received her training at Kent State University, and has participated in workshops in the US and abroad. Her work can be found at The Clown gallery in York, ME, the Mars Hall gallery in Port Clyde, ME, as well as at Time and Tide and Zenobia in Ipswich.
Costello, a Newburyport resident, is a member of the Rockport and Gloucester Art Associations. She is a retired art teacher, who has continued her study and love of painting in varied media workshops in the US.
Both women are active members of Confetti, a group of artist friends who meet weekly to paint, critique, and travel to art related events. Other members of Confetti include Su Guest McPhail, Cynthia O’Grady and Judy Stover, all of the North Shore. Each of these artists will also be represented at this show.
Esposito has been showing her line of clothing at Olde Ipswich days for a number of years now, she will be displaying a small sampling of her clothing during this event.
The Hall Haskell House is located at 36 S. Main St. Ipswich (rt1A), Gallery hours are Thursday, September 26 through Sunday, September 29, 2013. Daily hours are 12 noon to 5:00pm.

Christopher Godfrey Represents! In Cobscook Bay
This was recently seen waaaay down east (on Cobscook Bay, actually)! I wonder… You may label it as you see fit. Cobscook Bay, by the way, is utterly beautiful! And those reversing falls: wow! Not for the timid. Lubec is a strange little village: the folk must go stir-crazy during winter: all that fog, for one thing! Top of the morning to you! Christopher

The Happy Couple
Special FOB’s Don from Island Art & Hobby and Susan from Toodleoos stopped into the gallery today and let slip the fact that they had gotten engaged on Tuesday 9/17 on Susan’s 50th birthday. Don got down on one knee to propose in Newburyport, where they met and had their first kiss – don’t know if both things occurred on the same day. So sweet and such a great couple. I always thought they were married, as apparently did many people. They also just celebrated their 5th anniversary of being together. Best wishes to both of them.

Beautiful Saturday September Morning
I awoke this morning before dawn to film sunrise and found a sweet gift of Virgilios sauce and amazingly fat rigatonis in the basket on my front porch. I am recovering from a leg operation and my friend Catherine Ryan called at the very moment that I was trying my personal recovery technique–on the floor doing a shoulder stand, with phone in hand–and she really got an earful. Thank you Catherine for listening to me complain about itchy leg braces and hospitals. I gave her the wrong impression though because I can walk and work–I just cannot sit or stand in one place for very long.
After putting the sauce and pasta in the cupboard I left to go film, and once again, the exquisite Great Blue Heron was there at Good Harbor Beach fishing amongst the reeds. For the third morning in a row I have observed a flock of cormorants leaving Salt Island en masse to fish with the gulls in the outgoing surf along the shoreline. I wonder, do they sleep there every night?
Next stop was to a friend’s home on Rocky Neck to drop off peaches from my garden. The light was hitting the Sailor’s Stan’s sunflowers perfectly and I just had to stop and take several snapshots.
By now it’s after 8:00 and I almost always go to yoga on Saturday mornings but because of the stitches, thought better of it and instead went to measure a new border at the Gloucester HarborWalk.
Blooming today at the HarborWalk are asters, goldenrod, annual rudbeckia, and salvia.
Next stop was the farm stand and then on to Pick Your Own at Long Hill in Beverly. In case any pollinators stop by, I prefer to leave my own zinnias growing in the garden and just love the array of colors in the Long Hill garden mix.
All this gorgeousness before 10:00 and I still have a work day if front of me, but it’s been a September Saturday morning I won’t soon forget! For all these gifts, of friendship and of the beauty that surrounds, I am counting my blessings.
