| This past weekend the Italian Fiesta and many activities were held on Cape Ann MA. Including these seine boat races in this photograph. An altar is built each year in honor of the patron saint of the fishermen, Saint Peter. It is built in Saint Peter's Square and is always a very beautiful and spiritual sight. There is music, food, carnival rides, procession of the statue of Saint Peter moved from Our Lady of Good Voyage Church to Saint Peter's club. For link: Our World Tuesday Meme |

HOUSE HOLD HINT: Get rid of ants. Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. It will get rid of them as they have trouble digesting the cornmeal. It may take a week or so especially if it rains. Not harmful to pets or children. (source: Holistic Health Guide for New England)
