A bit pricey for lunch, but then again I have never been sent to heaven with an egg-salad sandwich and homemade potato chips, oh my!

Gloucester Up Close and Personal

Posted on by blackswanbeth

“Another opener! Judythe Meagher opens her solo exhibit “Gloucester Up Close and Personal” at the North Shore Arts Association, starting today and showing through the 31st. These new works promise to be even more spectacular than the watercolors, oils and acrylics found at her Rocky Neck gallery.  She is hosting a reception on Friday, August 20th, 5-7.”

“May you slip a little, drift a little, swim way out…”

Posted on by blackswanbeth
As you pass through
the seasons of yourself…
May you slip a little,
drift a little,
swim way out,
lose yourself occasionally
in the fragrance
and the fire,
be a little blown away,
be a little certain,
find the hearth that waits for you
in every kind of weather.

Congratulations to Ruthanne Collinson,
leading contender for Poet Laureate of Gloucester!
Ruthanne (Rufus) Collinson is the leading contender to succeed John Ronan as the city’s next poet laureate with approval by the Committee for the Art’s Poet Laureate Selection Panel.

Get Your Fresh PEACHES! Farmer’s Market Today!

Posted on by blackswanbeth

Don’t forget that the Farmer’s Market is happening today 3:30–6:30pm! The peaches have been amazing the last few weeks and you know they’re good when your two-year-old could care less about ice cream and throws fits for peaches. That’s what I’m saying! Juicy, dripping, delicious, better than ice cream fresh fruit. Isn’t it amazing that they just hang there on trees waiting to be picked by our favorite local farmers?

Join the Farmer’s Market and get yourself a neat little sticker like this and feel all squishy inside (like a peach) knowing that you’re supporting your local people:

“FIND YOUR ROOTS!”

Where's My Peaches!?

Squish! Peachy Keen…
