Just thought I would share my frozen Gloucester picture from my place high on the hill. At least the wind has died down making it feel warmer.

@PKGrills #PK360 Setup For Two Full Racks Of Ribs
Prepped the St Louis pork ribs by first trimming off the silverskin membrane, light slather of mustard to hold the rub and then hit it with my pork rub.
Next filled right side of PK 360 with a full chimney of unlit coals. Placed 10 briquettes in the chimney to get going and dumped on one corner of the unlit coals and sprinkled on some cherry wood for smoke. Put down a sheet of tin foil and aluminum trays on the charcoal grate under where the ribs will be placed on the opposite side of the grill from the coals. Fill the foil pan a quarter of the way with warm water to help retain a moist smoking environment. The foil will keep the bottom of the grill easy to clean from the fat drippings that will render throughout the low and slow cooking session.
Place a remote thermometer in…

RARE BIRD ALERT: SNOW GOOSE ON CAPE ANN!
Snow Goose in the Sea Smoke
Early this morning while out filming Cape Ann Lighthouses in the sea smoke, far off shore there was a Snow Goose bobbing about in the frigid waters.
Look for Snow Geese on the shore and in the water. Their feathers are white, tipped black at the outer edges, with a gray band above the black tips. Both their bills and feet are pink. There is also a dark morph, commonly referred to as the ‘Blue Goose.’
Thanks to Lyn Fonzo who last week sent a snapshot of a white goose feeding amongst the Canada Geese. She was wondering what bird. I thought it was a juvenile Snow Goose and the sighting today confirms that yes, we have (at least) one Snow Goose on our shores!

CAPE ANN LIGHTHOUSES SHROUDED IN SEA SMOKE
Evocative views looking through sea smoke along the shoreline this morning, from Ten Pound Island to Twin Lights, and at every vantage point along the way. On my very last stop photographing a buoy in the sea smoke, I spied a mystery bird far off shore. Bobbing in the water and with a bill not at all shaped liked a seagulls, it was a SNOW GOOSE! He was too far away to get a great photo, but wonderful to see nonetheless!

Help Windhover Continue to Thrive
Windhover Center for the Performing Arts needs your help and support for 2018. We have exciting plans for this next summer of 2018 which includes a return of the great Paul Taylor 2 Dance Company to Windhover in August. The entire company will be in residence to perform Taylor repertory, teach master classes, and engage in some community based programs such as open rehearsals and exchanges of ideas about dance in today’s world.
The Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre will return to Windhover to teach a week-long dance intensive for teenagers in July. This will be followed by Quarry Dance 7, performed for the public for free at the MANSHIP QUARRY located in the Lanesville section of Gloucester. Paul Manship was a great 19th century American sculptor who settled in Cape Ann and purchased a home and studio on the site of two quarries in Lanesville. This magical 15 acre site is now a non-profit retreat for artists, and Quarry Dance 7 will highlight the terraces and grounds, the historic barn, granite garden and the twin quarries. Parking has been arranged at the Lanesville Community Center nearby, so the Quarry Dance plans are in place quite early this year.
All of these events depend upon the support of this engaged community and of those who love the arts, and dance in particular. Windhover is a non-profit 501© 3 organization. Please consider a year end donation in any amount to help us fulfill our mission and to bring these programs to the public in 2018. You can donate through the website: www.windhover.org or by sending a check to: Windhover, P.O Box 2249, Rockport, MA. 01966
Thank you for your assistance and for your help in continuing the legacy and dream of Windhover Center for the Performing Arts into 2018 and beyond.
With best wishes for the New Year,
Lisa Hahn
