Arriving home from Norway we were greeted by a week of wind and waves, and the Egrets (and Herons) had taken over Niles Pond.

Cape Ann Blossoms A Celebration of Spring will be open for its last day today Sunday May 15 from 10 AM – 5 PM at the Cape Ann Museum on Pleasant Street and I would encourage you to go! The Museum has paired local floral designers with works of art held in the Museum and challenged them to create floral pieces to complement the art. Genius! Gorgeous! As I have mentioned, I am a sucker for spring flowers so this exhibit drew me right in and I was not disappointed. You are encouraged to make a reservation unless you are already a member. Tickets available here. It’s beautifully done and I encourage you to stop by today. I do have a favorite but that’s my secret to keep……

We returned to the Howard Blackburn restaurant on Main Street, recently opened in the former Halibut Point location. Amber was our server and Noah was behind the bar working his magic. We were warmly greeted so it was an immediate feeling of homecoming. I ordered the burger and Jim had the Italian Fish Chowder (which he has been waiting for!) and the Twinlight Smokehouse haddie. We were NOT disappointed! My Royal Gift was indeed a lovely gift to accompany our meal. We are very glad to see a restaurant at this location and plan to return often.
