So glad to see these beautiful egrets back

Wish they were a little closer at Clark Pond but to see them is wonderful.

Manchester Historical Museum Update

If you haven’t heard yet, we will be open this Saturday, April 10 (10-2), to offer time to those who couldn’t come during our weekday hours. I’ve attached a poster to share that announces that. The last day will be Friday, April 16. As of today, there have been 43 sales – some large, some small.

The week of April 20 – 23 will be “take down” of the art show Tues- Friday (10-3). Since this process will be quicker and more of us are getting vaccinations, I’ll just let folks come when they can to gather their items.

Your support means a lot to us. In August, I’ll be sending our sign-up forms for the Fall Art Show that will open in October and run for 6 weeks.

Oh Deer! Brunch on Hammond Street

We almost missed brunch in East Gloucester yesterday. Darn deer eating new spring growth right along the street. These are obviously taken from the car, but 3 deer were having themselves a spring feast.

Marshalls Farm Stand is reopening

Marshalls Farm Stand is open now for early cold weather plants and  The Farm will be reopening on April 16, 2021 for food, another sign of spring.

Deck Going in at Lobsta Land

It appears a deck is being built behind Lobsta Land in preparation for their scheduled opening April 22. Awesome view. Cannot wait!

You Pay for Years of Golf Lessons and This is What You Get in Return…

Hey, Dad, remember that time that I hit you in the leg with a wayward shot on the 7th while playing at the Masters? What are the chances?
