Our Buddies Dot and Bex Have A sweet Vacation Rental Property In Gloucester
It’s a great place to stay for families.
We’re less than a mile walk to GHB and we have a private pool. The apartment comes fully stocked with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, sand toys and boogie boards. And guests get a wagon to tote everything back and forth!
And there is an elementary playground less than 50 yards away! (We abut East Gloucester Elementary School.
And well, you know the view and the property and the owners 🙂
We’re sold out this summer. Week rentals only from late June to Labor Day Weekend.
Okay, gotta go mow the lawn.

RASING THE RAINBOW FLAG AT CITY HALL FOR #PRIDE MONTH!

Continuing in the City’s tradition of supporting diversity, liberty, and freedom for all, Gloucester is celebrating Pride Month throughout June, beginning with today’s flag raising ceremony. Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken was joined by House Representative Ann Margaret Ferrante, Senator Bruce Tarr, City Councilors Melissa Cox and Sean Nolan, a representative from Representative Seth Moulton’s office, and many people from the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.
The flag was donated by Gloucester resident Alasandra McClellan.
GROSS!
Not really gross, but actually quite beneficial!
Through my camera’s lens, I thought this sweet little Song Sparrow was hopping around with a breakfast of leaves until downloading the photos. Rather, his mouth is stuffed with what appears to be the larvae of the Winter Moth, those annoying little green caterpillars that dangle from trees, which pupate into the dreaded adult Winter Moths, which are destroying trees and shrubs throughout the region. So, thank you Song Sparrow!
The Song Sparrow was most likely bringing the caterpillars to its nestlings. Although adult Song Sparrows prefer seeds, to a newly hatched bird a plump juicy green caterpillar is easy to digest and rich in nutrients. As a matter of fact, most songbirds rear their young on insects. The Song Sparrow photo illustrates yet another reason why it is so important not to spray trees with pesticides and herbicides. When a landscape is pesticide free, a natural balance returns. Insects are bird food!
Nice Looking Craft. Wonder What Makes it Go.

Low Tide on the Annisquam

Hobbit House Studio is Open

For the time being, Thursday through Sunday, noon to 6:00 or when the open flag is out, or my door is open. Come by and see the Revelation Series paintings. As everyone who has seen them says: “They are amazing and profound.” Also, the new book “Revelation of Unspeakable Love” is here, for anyone interested in learning more about the Bible, without having to wade through the whole book (although everyone should). Come by and see and visit.

Good Harbor after dark

Since it doesn’t look like we will have much of a beach weekend, I share with you a different perspective of our beautiful GHB!
If You Ever See One of My Kids Doing This…
Please keep in mind this post comes from a humble mother, whose son had a trip to the ER for stitches doing something similar…on a MUCH smaller scale….when he was with me. So, this post isn’t a holier-than-thou-for-pete’s-sake-watch-your-kids-I-don’t-make-any-mistakes kind of post.
So…if you EVER see one of my kids screaming full throttle…smack down the middle of South Street in Rockport at 7:35 (meaning DUSK) on a scooter…with no helmet… like the young man that I had to swerve to miss last night…. please, please do your best to make him stop.
This particular young man…and I have no idea who he was…scared the day lights out of me, but also could have been really, really hurt. I’m not even necessarily meaning hurt by a vehicle, but hurt by something as simple as a pebble or a crack in the pavement that could have sent him flying through the air.
Oddly enough, I just had to have a reminder with my older son after watching a Go Pro video that he shot while biking around our neighborhood. I could tell by the video that he wasn’t looking over his shoulder to survey for cars behind him before crossing to the other side of the street. I’m so glad that I was able to show him the video to reinforce the lesson. Likewise, watching that boy last night gave me the opportunity to tell them what not to do, but I know they won’t always listen.
Sigh. Be careful kids. Please.

Happy On Main Street-22
