How cute are these Easter cookies at Cake Ann? They have such an amazing assortment of pastries and treats!
It’s so nice to see so much harbor activity thanks to the scallop season opening up this week. We have also noticed additional activity in the local restaurants, so welcome crew! It’s another solid indicator that the seasons are changing.
The short scallop season started April 1st. I watched some of the action at Cape Ann Lobstermen in East Gloucester, from Joey’s pier.

The sun was finally out on Tuesday evening. Took a walk with the Sunset Club to enjoy another different sunset. It was nice not to be wet and cold. The sunset was a little foggy but made for a pretty sunset.
Washout…
I’ve been enjoying your content and local information since moving to Gloucester. My wife and I moved here 3 years ago from Colorado but she’s actually a north shore gal. Anyway I’m writing to share my YouTube channel either you. It’s mostly crane related but I have quite a few videos with Gloucester themes. Please take a look and consider sharing it with your connections
