A summer day at Wingaersheek Beach

On Wednesday went to Wingaersheek Beach in the afternoon.  The weather was fantastic, and swimming so delightful.  Thank you, city of Gloucester, for the access ramps to help all visitors enjoy our beautiful beaches.

An end to a beautiful summer day

Tuesday was an amazing summer day.  Stopped at the Magnolia Pier to take the photo.  Happy summer.

Out on the Schooner Lannon

On Sunday, Rick and I were on The Lannon, which never disappoints.  The views were beautiful.  The Ardelle after the Bunker Hill Battle, went out sailing.  Gorgeous skies and sparkling ocean.

Beautiful time on Gloucester’s The Lannon

Rick and I went out to watch the Bunker Hill Battle from the water.  As usually The Lannon was the best.   Thank you to all who have participated in this wonderful and fun event.

Bunker Hill Reenactment

Here is a couple of photos and more will be coming.  This event was fantastic.  Volunteered today and saw so many the events.  The committee who put this together was organized and efficient.   On Monday will have more photos to see.  Thank you, City of Gloucester and the organization that runs these reenactments.

View of beach from Magnolia Pier float

On Monday the skies were clear and blue.  Walking to Magnolia Pier and sitting on float was delightful.   The houses on the shore add to the view.

Helped this little guy cross the street

Another reason to slow down when driving.  This turtle was crossing Bray Street on Wednesday.  Stayed with the turtle until the turtle was safe.

Update MAGNOLIA Porchfest: It is on

It’s on!! It may be cool and cloudy, but Porchfest is happening!
Not the spontaneous type? That’s okay. You can learn about the musicians performing on the porches by visiting magnolialibrary.org/porchfest-2025 or you can stop in the library for a map. Remember, the music starts at 4 and keeps going til 8. Don’t forget to bring $$ for tipping the great musicians who are donating their talent and drop some coin in the Library donation bins to keep porchfest happening. See you there!
