I love how Kathleen has the flowerpot offsetting the door and the sign. Quite a lovely aesthetic. Ya think that was intentional or just luck?
I bet she knew exactly what she was doing. Beautiful!

GMG Inside The Numbers- Top Ten Posts Monday June 6th, 2011
The last census lists Gloucester as having 28,789 at the 2010 U.S. Census. Only 1970 more viewers and we will be having as many daily viewers as there are man women and children in the City of Gloucester!
Of course our reach is world wide but that census number is something I’ve had my eye on for a long while as a milestone I’m dying for us to achieve.
here’s a map of where people have logged onto GMG from today, June 7th as of 3;30PM-

U.S. Dory Elimination Results from Jimmy T
The Open Class race was one for the ages as all 4 teams finished within 2 seconds of each other! Shortly after the start, strong winds out of the Northerly pushed the tandems of Erik Dombrowski / Glenn Harrington and Len Robertson and Ray D’Amico slightly off their course and that may have cost them the race as the boatspeed was there. In lanes 3 and 4 was in out-and-out war! Tom Jarvis and Jim Tarantino were neck and neck with defending champs Mark Duval and Joe "International Sex Symbol" Sanfilippo all the way to the turning flag. A smooth turn got Tarantino/Jarvis a small lead, which varied from a half a boat to a boat all the way home. But it was the superior athleticism and dedicated in-the-boat training that paid off for Duval and Sanfilippo at the finish, as they put on a huge push and ended up winning by an eighth of a second!!!
In the Master’s Division a perfect course by Mike Harmon, driven by the phenomenal strength of John Scola, secured an easy victory for the defending champs, even though they faced the skilled pair of newcomer Chris Ferrante and Bill Edmonds.
Unopposed representatives for the U.S. will be:
Juniors: LJ Robertson and Randy Parisi
Women’s: Christine Carpenter and Amy Robertson
Mixed: Jeff Muise and Christine Carpenter
Congratulations to all the rowers!
International Dory Races will be on Saturday, June 18th at the State Fish Pier in Gloucester, beginning with a Pancake Breakfast at 8 a.m.

Kim Smith Gardening Updates
Dear Gardening Friends,
Come join me this Tuesday, June 7th at Willowdale Estate, from 4:00 to 6:00, for a house and garden tour of this beautiful, and beautifully restored, historic Arts and Crafts manse. Members of the Willowdale staff will be giving guided tours of the house and I will be available to talk about the garden, including how the Arts and Crafts movement influenced our horticultural decisions. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
Thank you for the all the thoughtful comments and praise for last week’s column “The most highly scented lilacs…” Additionally, you will always find more photos posted on the blog. I cannot email too many photos in one newsletter because many of my reader’s email accounts have MB limits. Recently, several readers mentioned they keep a separate file for my columns on their desktop or in their email accounts, however, just to let you know, all columns and newsletters from the past year are archived on my blog. Columns prior to January 2010 are archived on my website.
Next week I will send you information on lilac culture as this is the ideal time of year to trim and shape your lilacs for maximum blooms next year.
Reader Irma wrote the following: I picked my lilacs at their height. In water, in the vase they lasted 2 days and drooped! Last year the same. I couldn’t believe it. Do you know why?
Hi Irma, Lilacs have woody stems and do not easily absorb water in the vase. Depending on whatever tool is handy, I do one of two things. With a hammer, crush the stems, at least six inches along the length, and immediately place in a vase filled with tepid or warm water. Over the years I have also discovered that peeling the stems with a vegetable peeler is just as effective, and less messy. Peel away the woody outer layer, all around the stem, again at least six inches up the stalk (peel down to green). Still, even with treating the stems, the arrangement will be fleeting and only look beautiful for several days. The scent of the lilacs permeating throughout your home is worth the extra effort!

Chickity Check it! The Bluenose II Reconstruction/Construction Project
I have no idea how they call it a reconstruction as it seems like they are building an entirely new boat. The Bluenose II was an incredibly beautiful boat but according to The Queens new Life in Canada blog, it’s keel was warped and they totally deconstructed it.
So they built this enormous structure to rebuild build another Bluenose II.
Click the thumbnail to go to The Queens New Life In Canada for fantastic photos of the construction process
Here are some of my pictures of The Bluenose II when she was in Gloucester August 31, 2008-

Gloucester Doors Series- Alma McLaughlin Gallery
You can tell a lot about a community by the doors on its buildings. The door on Alma McLaughlin
McLaughlin’s Gallery is one that holds many parallels with the city we love, Gloucester.
It’s both worn and beautiful with many layers of paint much like the layers of character that is the fabric of our city. This is no pre-molded factory produced door which adorn the bedroom communities grotesque subdivisions. This is a door that has seen it all and still beams bright and beautiful.
Welcome.
