Horses Help Us Look Into Ourselves

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Horses Mirror Our Emotions

One of the most fascinating qualities of horses is their ability to reflect what we’re feeling.

If we’re tense, they often become cautious.

If we’re distracted, they may lose focus.

When we become grounded, breathe deeply, and relax, they frequently soften right along with us.

This isn’t magic—it’s communication.

Horses are experts at reading body language, breathing patterns, muscle tension, and emotional energy. Their honest feedback gently reminds us to become more aware of our own emotional state.

In many ways, they become living mirrors.

Step away from the noise of everyday life and give yourself the gift of time with horses. At our serene boutique farm in Ipswich, Equine Assisted Wellness sessions offer a peaceful space to slow down, reconnect, and simply be—surrounded by the grounding presence of horses and nature. Come as you are, breathe a little deeper, and discover what can unfold when horse and human meet in harmony. We’d love to welcome you to join the herd.

$10 Lunch Special Jeff’s Variety Monday and Tuesday

Posted on by Pat D

We noticed Jeff’s Variety on Eastern Ave is offering a $10 lunch special on Mondays and Tuesdays. It includes any sandwich, chips and a bottle of water for $10. We decided to try it out and decided it’s one of the best deals in town! I ordered a roast beef sandwich and Jim got chicken salad. The sandwiches are large and delicious. We also noticed Jeff’s is selling cool t-shirts. You see some of them here. It’s a great stop at lunch time any day, but especially Monday and Tuesday.

**Maybe you were expecting a Margarita Monday post…..so was I. I just plain forgot last week…..**

Water Birds — pat morss

Watching the behaviour of water birds is intriguing.

“Now that I have your attention, here’s why I have called you together….” [March]
“Can I help you? You’re interrupting my preening.” [July]
Common Eider escorting her ducklings out into the middle of Gloucester Harbor. [August]
Double-crested Cormorants have taken over the mooring float as a parade ground.
Final countdown on the launch pad.
We have ignition, and lift-off.
The ‘Cormorant’ spacecraft has cleared the tower.
And is off on a sub-orbital flight.
Common Terns surveying an active fishing ground off Raymond Beach.
Many terns are screeching while circling, and suddenly diving on targets at the surface.
This one came up empty-billed, but bounced back up off the water into flight.
While others came home with lunch.

Battle of Gloucester Service Held Yesterday

Posted on by Pat D

The Cape Ann Chapter of the DAR (NSDAR) held a commemorative service yesterday at the Fort Square playground to honor the 251st anniversary of the battle that was recently re-enacted at Stage Fort Park. Jim attended and took these photos so we could share them with you. Great job done by all including Lyla and Jude Worthley, David Dow, Judy Peterson and our very own FOB Janet Foster Marshall (Col. Foster). Thank you to the organizers for a lovely remembrance. Check out the plaque at the Fort if you haven’t already taken notice.
