Last week, on a blustery morning I spotted this dahlia along the harbor walk in Gloucester but the name was missing. As you van see, I was only able to get a rear view, but even that was gorgeous. I would like to know its name. 

We’re getting some beneficial rain. Fall colors are now more than dry, brown leaves.

Hi, Joey!

I am writing to ask if you can post info about our second annual fundraising effort for Cape Ann Animal Aid. 

My husband Bob is selling split firewood for $300/cord. You pickup, no delivery. 100% of the proceeds go to Cape Ann Animal Aid. Here is a link from their website: https://www.capeannanimalaid.org/uploads/1/0/6/7/106722865/social_square__25_.png

Contact Bob for info at 978-325-1765. We have about 7 cords left, we will sell full or half cord only. We were able to donate approximately $3,000 last year!

Thanks for any help you can give!

Ellen Higgins and Bob Myers

I was invited to visit Hammond Castle on Magnolia Ave and decided the Spiritualism Specialty Tour might be interesting for me. It was a (classic) dark and stormy night last Thursday when I joined about 15 other people for the tour to discuss the Spiritualism movement and the Hammond connections to the period in history. Lori and Caleb were the tour guides and each presented interesting factual accounts of the history of the movement and the Hammonds’ interest in it. It was a fairly academic presentation–not frivolous in nature. We moved slowly through the rooms in the castle on the hour long tour taking note of artifacts and stories connected to spiritualism. No hauntings, but ghostly moody lighting enhanced the experience. There are little-noticed details everywhere, so look up if you go. These tours are held on Thursday evenings in October so time is running out if this is something you might be interested in. Tickets and information available here. It’s an interesting way to spend a Thursday evening in October!
