My View of Life on the Dock
With a different type of Easter with no family visiting for Easter, we did some yard work and then walked to the beach. Other walkers were very considerate and no congregating. Most walkers were wearing masks and I find people are polite. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Saw this egret hiding in the marsh near Wingaersheek Beach, this egret was practicing social distancing. Happy Easter and stay safe
I look like going to rob a stage coach. Just going to the supermarket.
The Annisquam River looked really pretty on Friday. First the sun then the rain and back to sun. Stay well and stay safe.

To Our Valued Friends and Neighbors,
We are writing to address the recent concerns that all of us are experiencing regarding the Covid19 virus and the impact it has on all of our lives. We agree with Governor Charlie Baker that farmers markets are an essential business and that maintaining and increasing access to local food is critical, especially during unsteady times such as these. We also agree that supporting local, small businesses and farms during difficult times is essential. Therefore, after much consideration and strategic planning, along with the City of Gloucester’s current approval, we have decided to move forward with our plan to open our market on Sunday, May 31, 2020 from 10am-1pm and run every Sunday until Oct 4, 2020.
We want you all to know that the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources has provided all markets with specific requirements for operation during this time. We will be complying with all recommendations and mandates set forth by our state and local governments, and our committee will
continue to meet regularly to plan our strategic adherence to these requirements.
We will be implementing the recommendations established by the MDAR, through social distancing and the following measures:
* Increased distance between vendors, allowing for the recommendation of 6 feet between each vendor table.
* All demonstrations and food samples will be eliminated to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
* On-site consumption of prepared foods will not be allowed, following current state guidelines of prepared food for take-out purposes only.
* Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the market, and market staff will be vigilant reminding both customers and vendors to wash hands regularly and between transactions.
* Vendors and staff will be required to wear disposable gloves at all times during the market.
* Market staff, vendors, and employees will not be allowed to bag produce in reusable bags.
* Vendors will be encouraged to use table coverings, such as clear plastic, which are easy to wipe and sanitize often. All will be required to clean any displays at the beginning and end of each market they participate in, in addition to interval cleaning during the market.
We are committed to continuing our work under the advisement of our government’s suggestions and requirements, and we look forward to providing our community with a safe space to shop and support local farms, purveyors, and artisans.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us through our website, http://www.magnoliacommunityfarmersmarket.com, or our email, magnoliacommunityfarmersmarket@gmail.com. Be well and be safe.
We’ll see you in Magnolia!
Magnolia Community Farmers Market Committee.

Took a ride over to the State Pier on a beautiful Tuesday.
Signs of hope in these crazy times.
Kettle Island off of Shore Road, the ocean looked like it had diamonds floating on top.
Took a walk out to Rafe’s Chasm on Sunday with social distancing. Took this photo 4.5 before high tide. Looks like a yummy whipped cream dessert. Stay safe and keep your distance.
Hi all:
Hope everyone is well and taking all the precautions so we can get through these difficult times. Due to all the social distancing, The One Hour At A Time Gang will not congregate. When taking your walk please bring a yellow bag to help keep our city clean and free of litter. Please wear gloves and a face mask. Miss you all and see you soon.
When the sun finally came out on Saturday decided to take a walk with social distancing.
When I went to pick up curbside some Cape Ann Olive Oil on Saturday, love the sign that Patty and Rick put in their window.
The Magnolia Pier doing great thanks to adding another two feet higher, the tide was certainly telling us a story this morning.
Took this about half hour before high tide, very windy and the ocean is singing and roaring. Be careful out there
