Joy on Cape Ann MA is Spring arriving with all the glorious colors of nature.

I especially enjoy walking with Art Muse Dog and not freezing this time of year.
Sometimes we just sit on the house deck and watch the boats go by or read a good book.
These are some of my joys in each day on Cape Ann MA.
