Plower’s Hill Challenge – Perkins and Mt Vernon Streets

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

As I drove around today, I thought the Streets up on the Hill must be a real challenge for the plows.

I wonder what other Monster Hills exist in Gloucester that create a challenge for the Mighty Plow Men of Gloucester.

Bird Of Paradise Flourishes as Icicles Hang Outside

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

This Bird of Paradise has bloomed for years, this summer it spent time outside, at the end of the season we cut away many roots, split it and repotted. It has flourished and has produced over a half dozen beautiful flowers this winter, even with the icicles outside.

My contribution is digging, cutting, picking up and moving this 100 pound pot around.
