Lone white sail

Cloudy weather does not divert from the beauty of mother nature.  Love the lone sail with Boston in the background.  Also, if you look closely, you can see a plane taking off and an egret.

Sound of Vienna

From Kathleen Adams

Kathleen Adams, Music Director AVC

“Sounds of Vienna” in Annnisquam

The Essex Piano Trio brings  “The Sounds of Vienna -Then and Now” to the Annisquam Village Church on Saturday, June 17, at 7:30 PM.  Violinist Ashley Offret, Cellist David Cabral, and pianist Beverly Soll play works of Schubert, Mozart, Pärt, Bolcom, Beethoven, and Haydn.

In its signature ‘Conversation among Friends’ manner, the Trio’s survey of Viennese repertoire resembles a musical feast, with Schubert’s Piano Trio in B flat major as the ‘main course.’ Other delights emanating from the Austrian ‘city of dreams’ complete the musical menu.

The historic, 1830’s  Village Church is an ideal venue for chamber music, with its intimate proportions, its wonderful acoustics, and its beautiful Steinway. Located at 820 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA.Parking allowed along Washington and Leonard Streets.  Suggested donation is $25. The church is handicap accessible, and a reception of Viennese delights will follow the performance in the downstairs Cove Room.

North Shore Sheds and Shacks

Many of you already know how much I enjoy looking at barns, especially those with character and stories waiting to be told. I’ve also been noticing various shacks and sheds along the North Shore that seem similarly full of character and untold tales. Here’s an entry that seems postcard worthy from Ispwich. This was a very pretty day but even if it wasn’t, I think this is worthy of a share.

House of Dreams

Building your dream home is a journey that often defies instant gratification. It’s a path filled with twists and turns, where doubts may arise, and the destination may seem elusive. However, on the serene shores of Rockport, one dream came to life in a way that surpassed all expectations.
