It’s time for the occasional and random Irish Coffee reviews now that March has arrived. Between now and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17 in case you’re wondering), I’ll be offering my reports on the Irish Coffee offerings around Cape Ann. Up first, logically, is The James on Main St. in Essex (formerly the Village). It’s a great one to start the series with. Loved the presentation and it was served hot (seems logical to me, but I have had it served cold before…not a fan). It’s made with Tullamore Dew, Demerara and chantilli cream as well as the coffee, so it’s a bit “non traditional”, but it is VERY enjoyable. Highly recommended. Slainte!
Took a walk on Good Harbor Beach late afternoon on Thursday. The weather was starting to improve.

We were treated to an episode of Mother Nature Doing Her Thing at Salisbury Beach State Reservation recently. We watched an eagle pounce on its prey and then carry it across the water to enjoy in the company of a flock of geese. Though I can’t be certain, I believe the prey was a duck. I recently learned that eagles like duck for a good meal and perhaps this is an example. Anyhow, the eagle feasted for a while and the geese moved a short distance away. A harrier hawk did a quick fly by to see what was what. The eagle moved its prey again landing closer to the geese. We watched for several minutes in awe of nature. Oh, and there was a hawk sitting prettily in a tree also! What a day. For additional photos and story details, check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. This post is for FOB Paula Ryan O’Brien’s birthday! Happy birthday to you.

The phenomenon known as a planetary parade is back as astronomers and stargazers prepare for what could be a dazzling display in the solar system this week.
The planetary parade — what appears to be a straight-line formation of several planets in the night sky — is expected to grace our night skies on Friday, Feb. 28.
While it won’t be easy to see the full lineup without binoculars or a telescope, it’s still possible to spot four or even five planets with the naked eye overhead in what NASA calls an “uncommon opportunity.”
A rare celestial event will take place on Friday, February 28, 2025, when seven planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align in the evening sky.
The sunset club will be out to hopefully see them.
Even when it is cloudy at sunset, the walk on Shore Road is always a must. The sunset on Tuesday was silvery.

This is the notification I got this morning:
As I reported a while back, we ventured to Amesbury in search of waterfalls. We found the waterfalls and had a nice little walk around. We decided to stop at the Barking Dog on Friend St in Amesbury for lunch. I thought of all our Gloucester dog lovers as the whole place is themed just for you. It’s a small friendly pub very close to the waterfalls. Comfy and welcoming, the customers that day included a range from families to senior citizens so it obviously pleases a wide demographic.
I had a BLT on a toasted pita (genius) and Jim got the loaded tater tots. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for on that cold day. The menu is simple but varied enough to please most. The pub style atmosphere was comfortable and warm. If you’re in Amesbury, give it a go!
Good Morning Gloucester
