It was a foggy morning on Wednesday and notice a pop of color on a couple of trees at Buswell Pond. It looks a little spooky.

What a great Magtoberfest 2026
Sunday, October 11, 2026, Magtoberfest 6th annual event, was a total success. The Magnolia Library volunteers did an extraordinary job planning this 2026 Magtoberfest. The classic cars are always fun. The Cape Ann Makers Market had wonderful vendors with lots of great gifts and apparel. Thank you to the Cape Ann Makers Market for all their hard work. Everyone who puts this event on, spends many hours in creating a family fun event. The food trucks and restaurants on Lexington Avenue provided wonderful food.

Wednesday at the Topsfield Fair
Rick and I took Wednesday off to go to the Topsfield Fair. A perk to getting older is getting a senior discount at the Fair. Been going to the Fair for years and what is reassuring it never changes. It does add some features. Essex Agricultural and Technical had a new event. It was excellent. Audrey’s Florist had a beautiful exhibit and won a ribbon. Seaview Farms was there as well. Melissa Cox received 1st Prize for her photo with the Red Stairs. My favorite are the Belgium Draft Horses.

Dancing Sea Foam and a footbridge to nowhere
On Sunday, the ocean was still putting on a show. The Sea Foam was dancing all over the Back Shore.
What is sea foam? From the National Ocean Service.
Sea foam forms when dissolved organic matter in the ocean is churned up.
If you scoop up some water from the ocean in a clear glass and look at it closely, you’ll see that it’s chock full of tiny particles. Seawater contains dissolved salts, proteins, fats, dead algae, detergents and other pollutants, and a bunch of other bits and pieces of organic and artificial matter. If you shake this glass of ocean water vigorously, small bubbles will form on the surface of the liquid.
Sea foam forms in this way – but on a much grander scale – when the ocean is agitated by wind and waves. Each coastal region has differing conditions governing the formation of sea foams.
Algal blooms are one common source of thick sea foams. When large blooms of algae decay offshore, great amounts of decaying algal matter often wash ashore. Foam forms as this organic matter is churned up by the surf.

Before my shift at the Visitors’ Center
On Tuesday, look what we saw at Stage Fort Park. What a dress and being on top of a Clydesdale. Not sure what was going on. It looks like a perfume ad. Beautiful dress and a gorgeous horse.
