This beautiful lunk of wood at Pebble Beach appears as if it is a trunk and root system. Would it be possible that it is from an ancient tree that was at one time growing there, or do you think the driftwood just landed there in that artful manner?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. if you haven’t pulled into Tendercrop Farm while driving down Route 1A in Wenham…you’re missing out. I go in once each week to get some cheese, pears, blueberries, soup, and the absolute best pita chips you’ve ever had! I’ll often grab a sweet treat for the boys and maybe grab some steak tips or eggs.
Head over now and also check out their adorable Easter decorations and flowers!

Hats Off to Spring: A Celebration of Grace Murray
The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to announce that the extraordinary hats made by longtime Annisquam resident, friend of the Museum and avid knitter, Grace Murray, will be on display throughout the day on Saturday, March 18 in the CAM Auditorium and the Folly Cove Designer Gallery. At 1:00 p.m.owners of Grace’s beloved hats will have the opportunity to share their thoughts during “Story Time” in the auditorium. A selection of hats will remain on view in the Folly Cove Designer Gallery through April 2.
The Museum will be free and open to the public from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for this program; reservations are not required.
Each of Grace’s hats is an original. She was inspired to create her well-known style of hat by the patterns in “Andean Folk Knitting: Traditions and Techniques from Peru and Bolivia”, by Cynthia Gravelle Lecount. By the time Grace had purchased the book in 1992, she had already been knitting for 60 years; however, the colorful motifs kept her attention, and she created over 300 hats, all lovingly tagged “From the Knitting Needles of Grace Murray”.
Good Morning Gloucester
