@EsplanadeBoston: Were saddened to report that the mother swan of the adorable Esplanade swan family passed away last night in her nest.

Were saddened to report that the mother swan of the adorable Esplanade swan family passed away last night in her nest. We want to thank @animalboston for safely removing her from the swan’s nest while the father swan sat at the nest with their cygnets tucked under his wings.

Clarification Regarding Beach and Resident Stickers

Sharing information from the Mayor’s office to clarify some information regarding Gloucester Resident stickers and Beach Stickers for the 2021 season. From Facebook:

Our office has been getting lots of calls, texts and social media posts regarding a news article which has shared incorrect information on beach/resident stickers. If you have already purchased a Gloucester Beach Sticker, you DO NOT need a new, separate resident sticker. Please contact your Ward Councilor or City Clerk’s office regarding which streets are affected and how to acquire a resident sticker if needed, but a beach sticker will also serve as a resident sticker. Thank you and happy summer!

The Magnolia Community Farmers Market is BACK and better than ever and OH How we missed you!!!!
Back on Lexington Ave, where we belong, the Farmers Market will be open weekly from 10am-1pm (closed the holiday weekends of July 4 and Labor Day).
Safety is still of our utmost concern. With state and local guidance lifted for outdoor venues, we will strive to make each market open and comfortable for outdoor shopping. Our Vendors’ and Farmers’ booths will be spread evenly down the street to make for ample space for distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the market as well. Masks will no longer be required, though we ask everyone to practice kindness and caution to keep each other safe.

On mine there is an option to select “view full size”. Indoor murals include masterworks from Gloucester’s public art collection (for example see its major WPA-era New Deal murals).

In Case You Need a Smile

In case you need a smile. I have been hatching ducks and they are beyond adorable. Please enjoy this little video of then happily splashing in a super shallow pan of warm water at just 2-3 days old. We have 14 of them and I swear they each have their very own personality! Click on post to see the video.
