What a gorgeous day!

What a lovely day here north of Boston.  Perfect temps, low humidity, breezy, and sunny.  Today is what makes summer in New England worth it (winter, that is).

Took Cosmo for a walk around town and noticed this sign in the window of a downtown empty building:

This is good.  Downtown Lynn needs more businesses.  They used to be on Boston Street, but I think they closed about a year ago.  According to their facebook page they are looking to open late September.  So, a new restaurant and bakery on Tremont and this.  Dare I say things are looking up for dear old Lynn?

Put my new back wheel on my bike and went for a bike ride around Nahant to enjoy this lovely day.  I really do like Nahant - it's so pretty and peaceful - but I don't think I could live there.  I can imagine it's dreadfully boring.  I'll stick with being close enough to ride to and around it.  Although there are beautiful homes there.  Here's a shot of 40 Steps beach from today:


I'm going to work on assembling version 4.0 of my shirt pattern.  I'm using Wild Ginger Software's Pattern Master, Tailor Made version.  I think I'm very close.  I've increased arm hole depth and added a bit more ease overall from version 3.0.  I'm feeling confident enough to use "real" fabric this time, and not $2 Salvation Army sheets.  First, though, to put the pattern together:


I'm thinking mexican for dinner.  I have some Trader Joe's veggie taquitos; along with some black beans and rice and chips and my homemade stone fruit salsa that all sounds delish!

Oh, and this year is the 20th anniversary of Hocus Pocus.  Enjoy the following - and I'm thinking of a costume for this year...
