This quintessential family home, with it’s four bedrooms and five full baths, was also designed for entertaining. As their children grew, they enjoyed hosting team celebrations, philanthropic gatherings and intimate dinners. Upon entering, guest’s eyes drifted up the double winding staircases, leading to the fire-placed master suite and three ensuite bedrooms. Gleaming hardwood floors, a chef’s kitchen and abundant pantry, four fireplaces, and walls of windows to drink in the outdoors complimented their sophisticated tastes. The heated, in-ground pool brought the wonder outdoors as the fire pit teased star gazing, conversation and laughter well into the night. This house so many amazing features, it must be seen to be believed.
Please contact Bob or Sue McDermott for showing options or stop by Sunday…

I love this handy chart that features a number of common butterflies we see in New England, and thought you would, too.
Nectar plants are wonderful to attract butterflies to your garden, but if you want butterflies to colonize your garden, you need to plant their caterpillar host (food) plants. We all know Common Milkweed and Marsh Milkweed are the best host plants for Monarchs, and here are a few more suggestions. When you plant, they will come! And you will have the wonderful added benefit of watching their life cycle unfold.
Monarchs are dependent upon milkweeds during every stage of their life cycle. Milkweeds are not only their caterpillar food, it provides nectar to myriad species of pollinators.
Well done Gorton’s marketing team, enjoying this new Gorton’s Gloucester proud video!

Talked to an engineer the other day with regard to the crane on Shore Road to build the Magnolia Pier. The workers have been very polite and considerate of the neighbors and walkers. He informed me that the crane can reach over 200 feet. He also stated that most likely it will take about two more weeks with the crane.
