Hpapy Independence Day! The Manchester by the Sea 2019 parade  featured sports cars, vintage bikes, team floats, music floats, and militia and minutemen companies. Following the parade, parachute jumpers aimed for the X on the turf field.

HAPPY JULY FOURTH PIPING PLOVER UPDATE – MOM RETURNS!

Just a very brief update from my morning 5-7am shift- I was happy to see Mom has returned to looking after the chicks. It’s really a relief because the beach was so crowded today with beach goers, beginning very early this morning. The chicks (all three!) spent most of the day at the creek with volunteer monitors keeping a watchful eye on the babes throughout the day.

Happy Fourth of July to the newest member of the Marshalls Farm stand Family

Hoppy the newest member, his mom is Buttercup.  You can see how little he is. You can also see Maize photo bombing.  Love going to Marshalls for fresh fruit, veggies and meats and especially visiting my friends the Alpacas.

HUGE THANK YOU TO THE HORRIBLES PARADE ORGANIZERS, WALKERS, VOLUNTEERS AND SPONSORS!

I love this parade.  Whether walking in it or watching it.  It takes a ton of unpaid time to put it on and it’s such a gift to us that get to participate.

Just like Fiesta and the Block Parties it’s another opportunity to hang out with friends, be entertained and see so many people that you otherwise might not have seen throughout the year.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR GIVING YOUR TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN EVERY YEAR!  WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO!!!!!

thank-you-peace

Blueberry Strawberry Salad ~

Cape Ann Wellness

Oh what speaks summer more than a bowl of fresh blueberries and strawberries and sunshine!

Blueberries are small but highly nutritious berries. They taste amazing. According to Ayurveda, they’re perfect for summer (Pitta season) because they cool the body and fall under the Pitta pacifying diet. The health benefits of blueberries and their Ayurvedic properties are quite remarkable.
