Went to Wingaersheek Beach on Friday afternoon. So blessed to be able to do my favorite activity. The ocean is still cold but love the saltwater healing my mind and body.

The Gloucester Meetinghouse and Cape Ann Pride
Gloucester Meetinghouse and Cape Ann Pride present Jessye DeSilva, June 14, 2026
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation and Cape Ann Pride proudly present sensational vocalist Jessye DeSilva and her band on Sunday, June 14, at 3:30pm in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church in celebration of Pride Month. Jessye DeSilva seamlessly blends theatrical pop elements with traditional folk and roots music to form her piano-driven alt-americana sound. Advance tickets (recommended) online with more info at: www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org
Jessye DeSilva infuses hope into songs about religious alienation, mental health struggles, and societal injustice to create a uniquely queer and unholy ruckus. Jessye’s newest album Glitter Up the Dark, produced by Aaron Lee Tasjan, is getting rave reviews. She writes about the album “Aaron and I came up with the idea to write an album that would center the idea of joy, in a broad sense…specifically, the joy of marginalized communities…joy is something you have to fight and work for. Standing strong in the sense of yourself…” Glitter up the Dark is an astonishing and nuanced meditation on community, memory, resistance and survival arriving at a necessary and vital time. To learn more about Jessye, visit: www.jessyedmusic.com
Reviewers give Jessye and her new album high marks:
“…razor sharp lyrics, paired frequently with an almost ethereal vocal…”
American Songwriter
“Utterly tender hearted. Warm and sincere. At times, uncomfortably honest…”
The Ark of Music
“…important and timely compositions about issues related to identity and empowerment”
No Depression

Not a kayaking day on Saturday
Saturday, it was, needless to say, was a stormy day. As the rain was letting up took a ride to see the ocean. It was low tide, but the ocean was rolling and singing a song. There were some surfers trying to surf at Eastern Point, they were not having much luck.

2026 Generous Garden Tour
2026 Garden Tour Tickets On Sale!
Join Generous Gardeners for the 14th annual Gloucester Garden Tour on Saturday, July 11th, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Tour the scenic, coastal, and historic eastern shore of Gloucester, a popular summer destination for affluent Boston families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the grand homes from that era with equally beautiful gardens still stand, and several are included on our tour. Each owner approaches gardening differently, so you will be treated to a range of formal designs to cottage gardens, and an amazing garden that is a garden tour in itself. There is a tea house, a classic orchid greenhouse, and spectacular ocean views. Generous Gardeners is pleased to present these stunning properties that are seldom open to the public. Shuttle buses will be available to help guests enjoy this year’s 3-mile round trip, self-guided tour.
Tickets/booklets and wrist bands will be picked up at the Stop and Stop parking lot at 6 Thatcher Road near the CVS. Given the exclusivity of the tour area, there are four different parking locations to be shared when you pick up your ticket. Parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is not guaranteed.
