The St. Peter’s Novena Organizers are holding an online novena to St Peter. Because of the current restrictions, due to Covid-19 the St .Peter’s Fiesta has been cancelled for June. However, we would like to continue the tradition of the novena to coincide with Feast day of St Peter. The first day of the Novena will be available on Youtube Monday, June 15 at 7 p.m. All are welcome to join us. Please go to Youtube and search St. Peter’s Novena Gloucester MA 2020. Please like our Facebook page St. Peter’s Novena Gloucester MA 2020. We will be posting updates and taking names for intentions of your loved ones.

Just picked at Marini’s Farm in Ipswich!

I have been experimenting with steel wool photography with GMG Jimmy as my ‘model’. It involves igniting encased fine grade steel wool  (we use a kitchen whisk); spinning it; then taking the pictures with a slow shutter speed in order to create the effects you see below.  We select a safe location: in these pictures Jim is standing on a wide area of  damp pavement. It’s not as “sparky” as it might appear due to the slow shutter speed. Although I still need practice, I thought the pictures are very interesting. And, yes, we come prepared with a bucket of water just in case….. also helpful is his Cape Pond Ice hoodie.
