My View of Life on the Dock
The other day I did a post about the deck and outdoor bar at Lobsta’ Land. Only one photo shows up on the GMG facebook posts and I wanted everyone to see how cool the bar with its retractable roof really is….but, a different photo showed up in the post. So, here it is again for those of you who might not click through to the website.
We have had Baltimore Orioles in the vicinity for several seasons now, but this is the first time I have located their nest. They build sac-like structures in tree branches and you can see they are well hidden. I watched as one of the orioles made its way down into the nest and popped its head back out. Now we wait for little chirps and open mouths of young ones!
A record number of lighthouses are being offered to the public during 2023 “Lighthouse Season”
BOSTON. May 26, 2023 – Each May, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), offers lighthouses to the public and other entities as part of its mission to deliver value and savings in federal real estate for taxpayers. This year, GSA is offering a record number of lighthouses, including at least six to nonprofits and government entities and at least four to the public through auctions.
GSA press release. Read more here.
A few lighthouses will be auctioned straight off. For the others, a right of first refusal process enables transfer of the property–buildings and grounds–to “federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofits, educational agencies, and community development organizations” that are in a position to maintain them, and may already be fulfilling that mission. Thacher Island Assoc. does a beautiful job for Twin Lights and Straitsmouth Islands.
Where have all the foghorns gone?

A couple of photos from Achill Island, County Mayo Ireland (where the Banshees of Inisherin was filmed). Stunning countryside, and a must-see for anyone lucky enough to visit the Emerald Isle.

On Thursday evening the 525 Day was held on Lexington Avenue. Considering many other events going on the crowd was great.
Remember that the wonderful Magnolia Library and Community Center Farmers Market opens on June 4, 2023
Did you know there is a store on Lexington Avenue that sells wonderful furniture.

Caught these two yesterday as they were hoping to catch something of their own. Bonus of having a permitted teenage driver is that now I can take photos from the passenger seat.

We lived on Lake Erie when I was in school but we never got to have a mobile classroom like this one! How cool for our students to be able to go out on the Ardelle for their classroom experience?
Anne-Lise and I are back from a few days in Quebec City. It is a 7-hour drive from Gloucester, the same time as a flight to Paris, and the cities feel equally French. We walked familiar territory, and also discovered some new neighborhoods. And it was a culinary delight.
