Happy Easter ~ Buona Pasqua!
Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today! I have taken on a little “post lent” personal challenge to notice 5 beautiful things in my environment every day just to stay positive and appreciate what surrounds me. One of this morning’s “observations” is a spot I drive by every day and in the spring these beautiful blue wildflowers are here for just a short visit. I believe they are called “glory of the snow” because they are the first flower to bloom after the winter. Anyone recognize the area? Hope you all enjoy this amazingly gorgeous day and find one or two things to appreciate in your own little world!

Join us for a gentle walk and meditation in nature and experience the health benefits of shinrin-yoku. On this leisurely walk you will be encouraged to use all of your senses as you allow the beautiful setting in nature to lower your stress levels, boost your immune system and improve your overall health. No experience with meditation necessary.
Simple breathing relaxation and meditation exercises will be taught.

coastal living: a Long Beach walk combines ocean view, front row cottages, and beach
Long Beach panoramic (click picture to enlarge) view at low tide, April 2017. The barrier rip rap is mightily exposed. At other times the large boulders are buried beneath deep sand.
This spring awakening is calm. Most of the homes remain prepped for winter.
Do you know how many front row cottages line Long Beach?
The view from the beach at low tide (ocean at my back) in two parts.

HAPPY EASTER FROM CAFFE SICILIA!
I love stopping in to visit Maria and Nina at Caffe Sicilia anytime of the year, but especially during the holidays. The bakery was humming today, with their regular customers as well as regional and international travelers, and their refrigerator brimming over with special Easter orders. Folks are still purchasing raffle tickets for Caffe Sicilia’s giant chocolate egg to benefit children with autism. What a gorgeous day for shopping downtown Gloucester. Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

HALEY BAKER AT TURTLE ALLEY IS ROCKING THE CHOCOLATE MAKING (AS USUAL!)
Saturday afternoon and Haley is working like mad to fill everyone’s Easter basket. She has so much finesse and makes it all look so easy. I’m a messy cook and would after only a few minutes be covered in chocolate. Not such a bad thing, though.
