We’re having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature’s rising,
It isn’t surprising,
She certainly can-can.

First day of summer and first swim of the season! Last night we packed a picnic and went for a swim–the perfect antidote to a heat wave. Tonight, more of the same. We’re so fortunate to live in Gloucester, moments away from any number of beautiful beaches!

Good Morning Gloucester 
Beautiful photos– you sure captured the moment! Love the white heron and I think that’s us, with Joey and family on the Lannon, sailing in the background. We saw the elegant sunset, too! Agree– no finer place to live, summer or winter!

And it really does look like those beautiful photos here, and everywhere on Cape Ann.
