Through the ice crystals on my window this morning. Unfortunately, the camera just couldn’t capture the brilliant beauty of it, but it gives an idea.

The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of the Humanities in Gender and Women’s Studies and Associate Dean for Faculty at Bowdoin College, Jennifer Scanlon to give an illustrated lecture on Saturday, March 12 at 2:00 p.m. on everyone’s favorite topic: the Folly Cove Designers. However, Scanlon will be looking at this group of artists from a different angle. Scanlon’s article, “’The Space Between,’: Rediscovering the Folly Cove Designers,” published in the Massachusetts Review in June of 2015 will be the catalyst for this lecture on the role of the Folly Cove Designers (active 1938-1969) as a forerunner of the women’s groups and professional organizations that fueled feminist social change in the following decades.
Led and trained by illustrator Virginia Lee Burton, the Folly Cove Designers were a group of Massachusetts designer-craftsmen whose shared interests in craftsmanship, pattern, and New England material culture united them across class and ethnic backgrounds. Their artistic and commercial success printing their designs onto textiles energized and legitimized the group, both as a collective of primarily women and as an artist’s cooperative.
Christine Lundberg, producer of the award-winning film Virginia Lee Burton: A Sense of Place, will introduce Scanlon.
This program is $10 for CAM members / $15 for non-members (includes admission). Space is limited; reservations are required. For additional information/tickets, please call: (978) 283-0455 x10 or email info@capeannmuseum.org. Tickets can also be purchased online at Eventbrite.

Joey: Here are a couple of pictures of a trawler passing Eastern Point this morning in the sea fog. Best, Pat
Back at the Yard House up at MarketStreet in Lynnfield and with hundreds of beer choices, I decided on a Moscow Mule with Tito’s Vodka. Sometimes too many choices is a difficult thing. I did, however, order the same Surf and Turf Burger that I usually get. It didn’t disappoint.
Google took a bunch of random photos from my cell phone camera roll on our trip to Playa and made this stylized video on its own.

With the frigid front moving in, last night’s sunset from Niles Beach revealed a crystal clear view to the Boston skyline. The warm hues in the photo are deceptive; a biting wind was whipping about. Peach met violet in the low hanging clouds and I thought the whole scene looked like a modern impressionist’s painting.

Mute Swans and Cygnet, Henry’s Pond Rockport
Mute Swans typically bond for the life of both members of the pair. If one is killed or dies, the other will usually take a second mate. Mute Swans engage in an intimate courtship dance. The cob (male) will often begin by pulling up nearby twigs (perhaps to show he is a good nest-builder). The pair next bobs their heads together, stretching and intertwining their necks alongside and opposite to each other in a beautiful synchronized ballet.

These pictures are taken in my backyard in East Hartford, CT. I have a weather station on the pole to the right by the garden and it is reading -23. Brrrrrr
My dog, Ozzy, didn’t waste any time doing his thing this morning.

Going to the Boat Show is what Rick and I do for Valentine’s Day. It is so much fun to walk on the boats and pretend. Actually we are very happy with our kayaks.
Good Morning Gloucester
