Magnolia Beach from Coolidge Reservation

The winter clouds are so interesting. We need a Meteorologist to hang with us checking out sunset and the clouds to help identify the names of these clouds.

A Sunday walk through Coolidge Reservation

Walked through Coolidge Reservation on Sunday afternoon.  Planned to go up to Ocean Lawn but it was so icy I went backwards down the hills.  Fun and beautiful.  Clarke Pond was so pretty.

The deck is complete

Want to give another shut out to Lantern Construction, (978) 871-0430.  Our deck came out so beautiful and sturdy.  Lantern Construction helped us maneuver through the inspections, carpenter ants, wood supplies and weather issues we have had for the last 6 weeks.  Rick and I highly recommend Lantern Construction.  Also Lantern Construction is a local company and if you call them, they call you back.

Thank you Jack and Nick for your great work.
