Thank you!
Butterfly Courtyard with Native Dogwood (Cornus florida)
Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Willowdale Estate Artist Spotlight Garden Tour Monday night. We had an absolutely wonderful turnout. I would especially like to thank Senator Bruce Tarr who, although he could not make it, sent his liaison, Gloucester’s Barry Pett. Mr. Pett is Senator Tarr’s Director of Community Outreach and Constituent Services, and also has a background in architecture. He lives in a historical Queen Anne on Middle Street and was especially appreciative of Willowdale, which is a stunning example of an exquisitely restored Arts and Crafts stone mansion.

Thank you Briar and Sarah for your gracious hospitality and for all that you did to make last night’s event such a singing success. There were gift bags for all who attended and the staff prepared a wonderful array of Briar’s signature cookies, as well as a delicious selection of fruit and cheese, topped with a favorite sparkling wine!

The tulips were in full, glorious bloom, as were many of our native flowering trees and spring ephemerals. Both the Eastern Redbud and Carolina Silverbell were abuzz with myriad species of bees and tiny winged-pollinators.

Pet of the Week- Beto!
Hello, my name is Beto, a four-month-old fawn-and-black Retriever curly coated Shepherd mix, but I am 100% adorable!
I weigh about 16 pounds, and will be medium size when I am fully grown. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Road, Gloucester.
Please save June 8 at 3 p.m. at Stage Fort Park for the Rescue Reunion! This will be a free, family-friendly event to celebrate the adoption of your dog(s) and provide a space to reunite with the staff and volunteers at the CAAA. Whether your dog was rescued locally in MA, Puerto Rico, Georgia, Alabama or another southern state, you will be able to find out more about your pup’s background, rescue situation and/or meet litter-mates! Please visit: CapeAnnAnimalAid.com
If you are up to the challenge that an active pup like me can bring, I am up to challenge of showing you all the fun we can have together!

Hard to imagine a better way to spend a day than wandering around Cape Ann when the sun comes out. Or in the fog, or rain, or snow…it really doesn’t matter to us.

Another Victory For The Harborwalk
Sarah Garcia submits-
2013 MUSE Awards – Congratulations
Congratulations HarborWalk folk!
The Walking Cinemas of the HarborWalk are receiving a national – and apparently quite distinguished – MUSE award from the American Association of Museums. The “medals” are given out the weekend of May 17th – (we’ll hope for the gold.)
Untravel Media developed the Walking Cinemas, and were creative people who completely “got” Gloucester. And in the inimitable way that Gloucester has, the community recognized compatible folk doing cool stuff, and joined in. Just listening to “Uncle Joe” tell the history of Fiesta in under 30 sec, or watching a demonstration of how to “do the walk” is enough to make you glad to live here. (By the way, you can take a short cut and watch the Walking Cinema clips on the website – www.ghwalk.org – or put on your headphones with your iphone and do it live.)
Over time, people will find all these different treasures along the Walk. There are the Story Moments, and also the Postcards, and most definitely the Walking Cinema. This award will be wonderful for alerting travelers to seek them out.
Congratulations to all!! Please share this with others you know who starred on the Walking Cinema stage. They are medalists!
