On Saturday, my husband and I took our boat from Salem to Gloucester. It was a beautiful day; crisp, sunny, and the water was fairly smooth. It’s always fun taking a leisurely cruise around Gloucester Harbor, and we were lucky to find a spot to tie up at the Madfish Grill – where we ate [...]
Nothing says “Sea Coast” quite like a lighthouse, and the North Shore is fortunate to have a variety scattered around the region – some of them easily accessible to the public.
Visit the Salem Maritime Park, where you can stroll along Derby Wharf to the Derby Wharf Lighthouse at it’s end. You’ll pass the replica tall [...]
No matter the size of your garden - a patch, a pot, a window box, an acre – May is the month for planting on the North Shore. The area nurseries are chock-full of tempting plants and the weather has been delightfully cooperative. This weekend, I visited Corliss Brothers in Ipswich and picked up tomato, [...]

A recent trip to the veterinarian started me thinking about my long relationship with Danvers Animal Hospital. Dr Myers, the principal, is kind and [...]

I knew they met somewhere near Waldingfield Road in Ipswich at 10:00 a.m., but wasn’t sure exactly where. Parking [...]
After a blustery night with rain pouring down in sheets, Sunday dawned with sparkling sunshine and bright blue sky. The perfect day for my field trip with the Creative Imaging photo club. Destination: Halibut Point State Park in Rockport. Although the foliage had faded somewhat, the gray of the granite, the golds and oranges of [...]
It looked so beautiful out this morning, that I couldn’t resist slipping the leash on Casey and taking a walk to Lynch Park. I was pleasantly surprised at how warm it was, considering yesterday’s bizarre weather. After Labor Day, dogs are allowed in the park on leash, so it was a real treat. Chatted with [...]
Today I renewed my membership with Mass Audubon through Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield, which reminded me of how much I love the variety of trails and parks available to us on the North Shore. Fall is a great time of year to get out and explore one of these great places. Some of [...]
