Hello Folks,

She simply didn’t believe me. There was no way that there could be carrots growing in her school garden because all she could see was a bunch of green leaves. But this little kindergartener from Veterans School had the surprise of her life when she reached down, scraped at the soil surface and found some orange! In the next moment she was yanking a carrot out of the ground along with her classmates and holding it up in the air with the biggest smile.

Please join us this year by donating to our end-of-year campaign in conjunction with Giving Tuesday, which is TODAY!

Why Backyard Growers this season? School, community, and backyard gardens yield delicious veggies, increase access to nature, provide learning opportunities, and improve children’s health — But more than that, gardens grow community and a powerful source of self-reliance.

This Giving Tuesday, help Backyard Growers strengthen our work serving Gloucester’s families and children. When you give today the first $2,250 we receive will be matched by three of our generous donors. This match represents a year’s worth of garden supplies for our district-wide Salad Days and Fall Harvest Days programs in Gloucester’s elementary schools. Double your impact and help us meet our match! Our partner, The Giving Common, will cover credit card fees so that 100% of your donation goes to Backyard Growers.

Please click here to make your donation.

Thank you!

Absolute savage pee move right here.  What guy pulls his pants down over his butt to take a leak? Zippers buddy, ever hear of them?

One more inch down and I’d consider this nudity.  As it is the bottom of his big ol ass is covered so I guess it’s just a monster butt crack shot.

there’s plumbers butt and now a whole new category- lobsterman’s butt.

It’s becoming a beloved Christmastime tradition: Local author and actor Doug Brendel will present two original holiday stories at a free event on Friday, December 18th, at 7 p.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 59 Main St. in Essex, MA. “Dirty” is the amusing, heartwarming story of the first Christmas told from the perspective of an unsophisticated shepherd. “The Day After Christmas” is a story in rhyme about an old man who works in “Refunds & Complaints.” This year’s event will also feature a third story, “Christmas, Inc.”, a whimsical look at Santa’s own struggles with the season’s commercialism. Voluntary donations will be received for Family Promise, an interfaith group dedicated to helping homeless families on the North Shore. For more information, contact Doug via Unconventional@DougBrendel.com.
