Simply Moonrise

The last evening of winter had many people gazing at the moonrise.
The weather was very comfortable on the Magnolia side of Gloucester
looking back towards eastern Point Lighthouse.

Right on schedule at 7:15, the moon peeks over the horizon.

Just a minute or so later, the moon is rising quickly in the sky.

Simply Waiting

A quiet day at Magnolia Beach.
Two bring a kayak in,
While others sit idly by.

Waiting
Written by Carl Sandburg

TODAY I will let the old boat stand
Where the sweep of the harbor tide comes in
To the pulse of a far, deep-steady sway.
And I will rest and dream and sit on the deck
Watching the world go by
And take my pay for many hard days gone I remember.

I will choose what clouds I like
In the great white fleets that wander the blue
As I lie on my back or loaf at the rail.
And I will listen as the veering winds kiss me and fold me
And put on my brow the touch of the world's great will.

Daybreak will hear the heart of the boat beat,
Engine throb and piston play
In the quiver and leap at call of life.
To-morrow we move in the gaps and heights
On changing floors of unlevel seas
And no man shall stop us and no man follow
For ours is the quest of an unknown shore
And we are husky and lusty and shouting-gay.

Simply Magnolia

The Hotel is long gone and most visitors only travel through Magnolia to stop at Hammond Castle. Imagine looking out at these sights every morning!
