Stacy Boulevard an amazing place to walk

Taking a walk on the Boulevard Tuesday was so beautiful, weather and flowers.  The bees were busy pollinating and there were butterflies.  Nature working.

Saw my Welcome Center co volunteer walking the boulevard as well.

Thank you Generous Gardeners.

Madfish Wharf on Rocky Neck

The Madfish Wharf on Rocky Neck is a fun little stroll. It was too early for shops to be open while I was there but there’s still quite a lot to look at. Kudos to those doing the promo work.

LAYERING SEASON!!! Gloucester Fishing Quarter Zips Are Perfect For Cool Nights and Air Conditioned Restaurants.

They are literally the perfect layering piece of apparel for any gender.

Great for summer evenings or layered in the fall, winter or spring. Also the best for going out to dinner when you know there’s going to be air conditioning and you go from being warm to freezing and uncomfortable.

LAYERING SEASON!!!!

We are coming up to that time of year where you wake up in the morning, head out and it’s chilly, then the middle of the day is hot and then the evening you freeze. You put this over a white t shirt or polo and you’re ready for any temperature swings. You can wear them with jeans, with shorts, just all around the perfect versatile piece.

In sizes from Small to XXXL
