Even though it was very cloudy on Friday, the sun did peek out during sunset.
More rather scary. Saw this car decor in the parking lot outside AMC movies. Wonder what movie they were seeing 🙂
Caption this holiday spirit…
Late Saturday afternoon we watched two powered paragliders overhead and circling the Eastern Point lighthouse.
Hope to see you, I will be the one in a blue dress and blond wig.

See what Money Inc has to say about Gloucester!
Massachusetts is one of the most remarkable states in America. It’s the place where many believe this country originated, being home to the historic city of Plymouth. The first European settlement was established there in the year 1620. What began as a farming and fishing community has grown and evolved into a highly industrialized center of activity in the country. Massachusetts has been listed as one of the best states to raise a family, and here are the 20 best places to live in Massachusetts, based upon safety, good school ratings, employment, amenities and reasonable cost of living.
Incredible
I happened to find myself at last Thursday’s Gloucester varsity field hockey game vs Marblehead with my camera in hand. And I couldn’t help but take some pictures of a well played game…..hats off to David Cox who usually provides the high school sports pictures (and much better than this effort). Home team (Gloucester) wins 3-0!

Come be part of #thepowerof100 on October 30 @ 5:30 pm at The Gloucester House Compass Rose room. This will be the second quarterly meeting of the Cape Ann chapter of 100 Who Care which launched in July with 125 women collectively donating $12,500 to Wellspring House for their Educational Resource Collaborative.
One hundred (or more!) women will each donate $100 on October 30 and together in one hour we will raise $10,000 for a local charity. If you can join us, visit https://100whocarecapeann.org to RSVP. If you can’t make it to this meeting, you can still participate by donating and voting through this web site.
We will hear presentations from members about three organizations – Backyard Growers, The Open Door and The Gloucester Stage Company– and vote on the one we think most needs funding. Learn more about how they could use our support by checking out the Impact tab on the web site.
We meet four times a year and members can nominate charitable organizations they would like to support. This means we learn about 12 local charities each year and will donate $40,000+ to four of them. Next meeting will be January 30, 2020. We hope you’ll join this amazing group of women who are supporting our wonderful community.
Submitted by the 100 Who Care Cape Ann steering committee members: Diane Connolly, Erin McKay, Jane Remsen, Lisa Robinson, Marilyn Short. Contact us at info@100whocarecapeann.org.
Many thanks to Mike Mack and the North Shore Horticultural Society for the invitation to present “The Hummingbird Garden.” We had a great talk and I really want to thank everyone who volunteered what Ruby-throated Hummingbirds like to forage on in their gardens. Hummingbirds are opportunistic feeders and it was so interesting to learn the plants that support RTHummingbirds in other’s gardens. Although Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the most widely distributed Hummingbird in North America many aspects of its migration, breeding, and ecology remain poorly understood. In addition to what was presented, local gardeners added Cuphea, Penstemon ‘Husker Red,’ Rose of Sharon (all shades), Agastache, and a flowering quince in a rich shade of fuchsia.
Special thanks to the lady who brought a hummingbird nest and shared it with the attendees.
A reader inquired about a photo that I had posted with the announcement of the lecture. The photo is of a Rivoli’s Hummingbird and was taken in Macheros, Estado de México. We were staying in a tiny cottage on the banks of a forested mountain stream. The banks were abundant with blooming Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans) and both the gently flowing stream and flowering sage were Mecca for all the hummingbirds in the neighborhood. Every morning we awoke to the chattering of dozens of hummingbirds, mostly Rivoli’s and White-eared Hummingbirds, bathing in the stream and drinking nectar from the sage.
A note about Rivoli’s Hummingbirds. They were originally called Rivoli’s, then the name was changed to Magnificent Hummingbird, but it’s name has since reverted back to Rivoli’s Hummingbird.

On Thursday the workers put up some of the railings. It is starting to look like The Magnolia Pier. Who wants to be first to jump off when it is complete.
