Greasy Pole – The Musical SPECIAL GMG PREVIEW!
Good Morning Gloucester was granted exclusive access to the final dress rehearsal of Greasy Pole -The Musical before its opening on June 16. All we can say is that if you are lucky enough to have tickets or intend to get them, you are in for a real treat. This production could have just as easily been titled, Gloucester-A Celebration of Community. It will warm your hearts and remind you of what this place is all about.

Chico–Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet of the Week
Chico – Pet of the Week
Hi! My name is Chico (left) and I consider Sammy my brother – although we are not blood brothers, we have never been apart, and in my opinion, you do not have to be blood brothers to be true brothers. We are both small Chihuahua’s.
I am eight-months-old and Sammy is a month younger. We would love to remain together and if you are interested in adopting us, we are at the Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, a non-profit shelter caring for homeless cats and dogs located at 260 Main Street. We get along well with people, cats and dogs.
We are black and tan and super cute. Promise not to tell Sammy because I would never want to hurt his feelings because I just love him to pieces, but I think I am a tiny bit cuter – – not much; just a little bit.

Go Bs.
Total Lunar Eclipse today. go here for a webcam of it. I think you have to be in Israel to view it live. In 2004 there was a lunar eclipse and the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in quite some time.
Entirely a coincidence that the Boston Bruins are playing in game seven of the Stanley Cup tonight. Or not. Go Bs.

Looking At The Blog Today
I’m looking at the blog today and feel incredibly proud of this thing we’ve created.
I’ll stack it up against any other hyperlocal blog/website anywhere and excuse me if it sounds like boasting but I’m not sure that there is anything else that captures a community essence the way our staff does here at GMG.
Very proud and thankful to have the contributors we have. You guys are the best.

Alyssa and Lauren and Some Dude Cast Off The Bottle At Good Harbor Beach Message In A Bottle Part IV
Mark Ring found the bottle floating 200 yards directly in front of Hammond Castle two days after the girls released it from Good Harbor Beach. When I asked him how he knew it was special, he simply replied- “It’s experience Joe. It’s experience”
Alyssa and Lauren just happened to have taken pictures with the bottle before it was released!

Cleaning the Catch, circa 1930
Cleaning the Catch, circa 1930 Anonymous/@Fredrik D. Bodin
Sailing home in rolling seas after a fishing trip, these men clean and sort the catch. Covered with fish guts and scales, there’s no showering or shaving on a working schooner. This was on-the-job reality in the 1930’s. One way I estimate the date of an old photo is by clothing style. In this shot, the man in the middle is wearing a 1930’s Trilby hat, and the men on either side are wearing 1920’s flat Newsboy hats. If anyone can identify any of these fishermen, please let us know.

Kim Smith Lilac Culture
Dear Gardening Friends,
Baking temperatures and sweltering humidity have their appropriate months, but early June is too soon for the recent 95-plus degree days! I am grateful for this cooler weather—our newly planted vegetables and annuals will have an easier transition out of the melting temperatures of last week. On another note, our daughter Liv is preparing to attend NYU Steinhardt Masters of Music program this coming fall. To make this dream of hers come true she is working many long hours with a combination of three jobs. If anyone knows of an apartment to share or sublet please let us know. She is hoping to find something downtown, relatively close to NYU and/or public transit but will consider nearly any arrangement
This is the ideal time of year to prune your lilacs, immediately after flowering (attached article). See blog for photos of several native companion plants for lilacs. The photos from the lilac posts and the flower power post were shot with the new Fujifilm x100—a truly fantastic, albeit quirky, camera. I am so looking forward to spending fun times getting to know this camera and will once my design jobs settle into their seasonal rhythm.
Perhaps we will have another summer similar to last year’s, with days on end of warm temperatures and minimal rain, the ideal weather for butterflying (we can hope!). Last week’s warm temperatures brought a Monarch to Willowdale and our garden was rife with angelwings, azures, and swallowtails.
Happy Flag Day!
Warmest wishes, Kim
Good Morning Gloucester
