My View of Life on the Dock
My soon-to-be 15 year-old doesn’t often get up early if he doesn’t have school, or work, or a game, or practice (the opportunities to sleep in are kind of rare), but the other day he wanted to see the sunrise. He took this photo. Nice work, buddy.
We took a ride out to Parker River Wildlife Refuge recently and saw some of our “usual” suspects (killdeer, hawks etc) but were further rewarded with some rarer sightings. We found a vulture feasting along the side of the road and we also noticed a small mammal which appeared to be napping in the branches of a roadside tree. Of course, I researched what small mammals sleep in trees and was able to eliminate panda, jaguar, orangutan and Sumatran tiger from my list……I believe this to be a raccoon! Something I have never seen sleeping in a tree roadside. Parker River is a nice little ride and sometimes you get bonuses like these.
Hopefully some of these places reopen but some are lost forever.
Closed Saturday: Last Stop Variety- Sailor Stan’s (normally would be open this time of year)
Gone: Salahs Breakfast Place In East Gloucester Square (god I miss that place), The Variety Store In East Gloucester Square.
Not Open Yet- The Rudder, The Studio
Question marks: Duckworth’s, Madfish
I just wanted to grab a quick coffee to go at Last Stop Variety and a nice home baked muffin, a bag of ice and hop on the boat.
Nope. Sadness. Hopefully Last Stop opens with regularity this summer.
Keep supporting Charlie’s Place and Cape Ann Coffee before we lose them too.
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……
