The day many of us are awaiting is on the horizon! Tomorrow April 9 Lobsta Land on Causeway St. reopens for the season.
People here are focused on the short April scallop season, but spring continues in other ways too.
Took a nice walk around Clarke Pond on a rare sunny day.

Details from Heidi Dallin for CAS:
“Cape Ann Symphony’s Musicians Unleashed Concert Series ushers in springtime with The Spring Refreshed Concert, on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 3:00 PM at The Crowell Chapel, 3 Rosedale Avenue, Manchester-by-the-Sea. The ticket price for The Spring Refreshed Concert is $40. Call CAS at 978-281-0543 or go to www.capeannsymphony.org to purchase tickets. Premiering in 2019, The Cape Ann Symphony’s Musicians Unleashed Concert Series are small intimate chamber concerts performed by members of the Cape Ann Symphony and guest artists at unique performance venues on Cape Ann. The Musicians Unleashed Concerts have become a wonderfully popular series with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic audience response.
The Spring Refreshed Concert features classical woodwinds including flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn performing Barber, Beach, Barthe, Agay, Coleman and Arnold. The program ranges from Amy Beach’s serene and contemplative Pastorale to Malcolm Arnold’s Threes Shanties for Wind Quintet, a vibrant and witty reinterpretation of a sea shanty. The concert program also includes: Adrien Barthe’s charming and lyrical, Passacaille; Valerie Coleman’s powerful anthem, Umoja and Samuel Barber’s playful and moody, Summer Music.
“The Spring Refreshed Concert features joyful and moving music that signals Spring has arrived!,” says Barbara Cox, Director of Marketing on the CAS Board, “We are delighted to feature these exceptionally talented woodwind players performing in the beautiful Crowell Chapel. “
The musicians of Spring Refreshed are Cape Ann Symphony members: Principal Flute Stephanie Stathos; Principal Clarinet Bill Kirkley; Principal Oboe Izumi Sakamoto and Principal Horn Earl Powers. The Woodwind Quintet is completed by Symphony New Hampshire member Sally Merriman, Bassoon.”

Thank you Gloucester Fire Fighters for extinguishing this fire. Terrible fire on Monday. No one was hurt but sadly pets did not make it.
On Friday took a walk on Magnolia Beach late afternoon. It was clear, crisp and sunny and took advantage of the nice weather.
