This guy has been working very hard

Found out this information from the internet:

Just like your body uses proteins to build your hair, nails, muscles, skin and bones, spiders use proteins to produce different types of spider silk. This web silk is produced internally in liquid form and becomes solid as it leaves the spider’s body via a spider’s spinnerets.

This event is so much fun. Thank you for shopping and dining local.  See you there with some of my photos on beach towels, cookie jar, puzzles and calendars.   I will be in the Magnolia Library on Sunday.

 

Rafe’s Chasm

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Since we live in Magnolia Village of Gloucester, walking to Rafe’s Chasm is another blessing.  The woods open up to a beautiful ocean view.

Rafe’s Chasm, ~10 Ac.

Permanently protected by the City of Gloucester.

Trail Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Length:

Rafe’s Chasm Park was sold by the Trustees of Reservation in 1959 to the City of Gloucester for one dollar.

This 10 acre park runs from Hesperus Avenue to the rock along the shoreline, with views of Norman’s Woe rock to the northeast and Kettle Island to the southwest.

Rafe’s Chasm is located on private land about fifty yards outside of Rafe’s Chasm Park. PLEASE OBSERVE ALL “PRIVATE PROPERTY” POSTINGS.

Originally identified as Rafe’s Crack, this large rock fissure was finally noted as Rafe’s Chasm on maps beginning in the 1850s.

It is said that the name comes from a freed slave named Ralph who settled near the Chasm and built many of the rock walls that remain along HesperusAvenue.

Visiting the chasm became a popular tourist attraction after the Civil War.

 

Bouquet Sale

Thank you, Generous Gardeners, for all your hard work and the beautiful flowers.

 

 

The most beautiful event of the year is the

Generous Gardeners

Stacy Boulevard Dahlia Bouquet Sale

Saturday October 4th at 10:00 by the tennis courts

Generous Gardeners volunteers will be cutting and arranging the amazing dahlias for sale to the public Saturday morning. The flowers will be in vases or plastic sleeves for you to transport home. The dahlias are spectacular this year, so be sure to see the show of flowers before this event. Arrangements will not be set aside or pre-sold.

We do expect the flowers to continue blooming, so if you cannot make it this Saturday, after October 11th, find Antonietta on the boulevard (or call or text her at the number below) over the next few weeks and she will make individual arrangements for you to purchase up until first frost. The dahlias need to recover from this big cutting so this will not be until a week after the sale. After that we will be digging out the plants to store for the winter. We will not be selling tubers this fall. Any extra dahlia tubers will be sold at our spring plant sale that is always the Saturday before Memorial Day.

Thank you for your support.

Good Harbor on Wednesday afternoon was clear and crisp.  Taking a walk on the beach takes all the stress of the day away.  Grateful.

Sunset at Magnolia Pier

Walking at sunset is one of my favorite things to do, especially in fall.  Shore Road has many people strolling with their dogs and kids, enjoying the fall weather.
