Category: Good Morning Gloucester

Pansies may appear to be fragile, but are actually able to withstand the vagaries of spring weather. It reminds me a bit of the fishermen’s wives and children throughout history: Standing strong against the winds and vagaries of the ocean. Thank you Generous Gardeners for the reminder.

If you planned on getting one for Mother’s Day this would be a good time before they’re sold out!

Froggy Went A Courtin’…

We saw so many vessels hailing from Maine out in the harbor on a recent morning! Although I know the traffic does not compare to “back in the day”, it delights me nevertheless to see so much activity in our harbors and at our docks. Welcome Contender, Amanda May, Big Dipper and Another Notch.

We will also be at the shop from 11-4 today Friday!

We decided to go to the Lobster of Gloucester on East Main St recently for a late afternoon snack and drink after a shift at the shop. Long story short, I think I have found my favorite new summer drink: Shore Thing! Absolute deliciousness. We sat in the larger dining area for the first time and were happy to see it was quite busy with families, couples and senior citizens like ourselves. The appeal of the Lobster is wide ranging. If you’ve been there last season, you should take note the entries have changed around a bit. For dining room seating, enter by the door facing East Main St and you’ll be greeted for seating. For bar seating, use the side door you probably used previously.

We each ordered appetizers: bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp tacos. It was a perfectly sized portion for a late afternoon snack. There was plenty of friendly staff (also reassuringly knowledgeable): our server Olivia is a good example and I listened to her patiently guide some customers through the seafood choices. The Lobster is back and I think it’s better than ever!
