Fisherman’s Park

Took a run up to Fisherman’s Park after work last night to see how the clouds looked over the city.   While I was there I met DJ with his daughter Isabella and nephew Drew who were having a blast sliding down the rock.    I’m not sure their mothers will be happy that they might need new pants but they were having fun!

Long Hill Gardens

Posted on by Nichole S.

One of my “picks” for last week was the Annual Plant Sale at the Trustees, Long Hill Gardens.  While I didn’t make the actual plant sale, I did take a group of my “grown-up” students for a walk up there on Saturday afternoon for a quick botany lesson.  It truly never fails to disappoint and if you haven’t hiked the property, you really should.

Photos and story from Samantha Goddess ~
Cape Ann Preschool had a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration breakfast last week with its 3-4 year old class. They sang songs for their moms, enjoyed a meal the children had prepared, and presented their mothers with hand-painted flower pots and cards. It was a special day for all!

Poppies popping, tulips resplendent, and flower pots poised to bedazzle, The Mary Prentiss Inn, conveniently located near Harvard University, is an utterly charming bed and breakfast, outfitted with all modern amenities (and a secret garden around back). Homemade breakfast is served daily, along with freshly baked treats for afternoon tea. Jennifer, the proprietor, and Lisa, who runs the front desk, could not be more welcoming. For graduation, business, or simply a romantic get away in the heart of Cambridge, The Mary Prentiss Inn is tops!!

Tulips in the city were hard hit by a cycle of freezing and thawing, after they had started to emerge. Nonetheless the tulips at the Inn are still blooming great guns!

Fish Tales – All Women

Posted on by gregbover

Capture

Last Friday evening at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center the most recent episode of Fish Tales, a live story-telling event from the Gloucester Writers Center, was presented to a full house of listeners. Each story, lasting about five minutes, was a true story from the lives of the women pictured above. Although I have been attending these events that occur every month or so for more than three years, I don’t think there has ever been a more powerful line-up than these women represented. From left to right: Virginia McKinnon (Storyteller in Residence), Grace Schrafft, Natalie Simon, Kim Lord, Maureen Aylward (Show-runner and MC), Karen Ristuben, Kathy Lordan, Barbara Boudreau. Audio of this show is available at the GWC website. http://gloucesterwriters.org/archives/. Give a listen, you’ll be glad you did.

And stay tuned for the next Fish Tales, Friday,  July 8, on the theme Play Ball!
