Wine Tasting Approval System

Posted on by Pat D

Despite spending most of our adult lives in Central New York, we had not visited a winery in quite a while. We stopped at San Juan Vineyard mostly out of curiosity and nostalgia. It was a charming sight obviously ready for weddings and other events. The small tasting room offered a flight of 4 for our enjoyment. GMG Jimmy devised a brilliant system for ranking the wines which I thought you might enjoy and learn from. We did purchase a bottle of his first choice to share at some future event.

Dry Easterly Winds for Ardelle Sail

Posted on by Pat D

Friends visited from upstate New York and their agenda had been kind of a hectic agenda up to their stop in Gloucester. We thought a nice calm sail around the harbor aboard the Ardelle was just the ticket. It was a lovely day, the crew praising the dry easterly winds (which doesn’t sound so good, but apparently is). Harold Burnham himself accompanied us following his underwater inspection of the boat just prior to our departure. Capt Phil guided us around the shoreline for about 2 hours with a small number of other passengers. It was just perfectly peaceful and calm way for us to catch up and enjoy the beauties of our harbor and shore. Check it out soon before summer slams the door shut. Thank you Erin and Paul for giving us another excuse to spend some time on the water!

Do New Homes Need a Home Inspection?

About your home from Jameson at Another Level Home Inspection LLC

A common question I get from clients is “do new homes even need to be inspected?” While the North Shore and Cape Ann have less than some areas of new homes being built, there are plenty of people who purchase newer homes. Some clients don’t even consider having a newer home inspected and many don’t even consider what issues could be identified during an inspection on a newer home. When purchasing a new home there are numerous issues that you would see on most older homes you don’t have to worry about. In addition to this many builders offer a 1-year warranty (or something similar) which does…

Low Tide on Niles Pond — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

The drought is continuing to empty Niles Pond. Starting here with a water level comparison to a year ago.

SEPTEMBER 2021. Canada Geese are standing on a sumerged rock
AUGUST 2022. Same rock with young and adult Little Blue Herons
“I don’t think we can do anything about it”
Never seen so many young Little Blue Herons (and maybe an egret or two)
And never seen these rocks, well out into the pond (Great Blue Heron, center)
We’ll make the most of it with the “Niles Pond Greasy Pole” competition
Over the causeway in Brace Cove, staging the “One-legged, stand-in-the-surf” contest
The Laughing Gulls really weren’t amused
But a Green Heron was enjoying the view of both venues from the bleachers

Backyard Adventurer

Posted on by Pat D

Our backyard is ceaselessly entertaining. It’s August, so the bees start to gather in and near the hummingbird nectar. This poses a dilemma for the hungry hummingbirds. Sometimes they decide it’s best to all get along together for a common purpose. There’s a lesson in there! At the same time, a mother deer and fawn also come for a visit and seem unthreatened by much bigger creatures like us. They allow us to watch and photograph freely while they go about their natural business. We love our life in Gloucester!
