I am pretty well addicted to the Essex Greenbelt Osprey Cam to follow the development of the nest for the osprey nicknamed Annie and Squam. They return to the LobstaLand nest each year and provide insight to bird life through the web cam provided. David Rimmer provides occasional updates on their progress. This year it appears there are two eggs and we might expect to see the hatchlings in early June (if my math is correct). In the meantime, I watch the osprey cam. This time I got to observe a “changing of the guard”. If you look very carefully inside the nest, you can see one of the eggs. Thank you David, Essex Greenbelt and the army of volunteers!

Special shout out to Linda and Sage Floral on Main St. for helping GMG Jim get just the right arrangement to celebrate Mother’s Day! It’s beautiful and I appreciate the personal touch Linda put on the project. The colors are gorgeous and it’s such a treat to have a fresh arrangement in the house.

What’s a Porch Fest?? It’s a popular event where different musical groups play on porches as people stroll around listening to music. It’s the perfect event for sharing our beautiful oceanside neighborhood. We’ll have about a dozen porches all playing different types of music from 4 – 6pm on Saturday, May 25. In addition, there will be live music at the Magnolia Fire Station from 6-8pm. You can bring a beach chair or blanket, order some pizza or take-out from Grillfriends or 525 and enjoy the beach view from the park.
A map of participating porches is available at www.magnolialibrary.com or from the Magnolia Library at One Lexington Ave. Our musicians are donating their time and talent. The maps will include virtual tip jars so you can show your appreciation.
You may be wondering what’s 525 Day? 525 is the original telephone exchange for Magnolia, so we use May 25 each year to celebrate all things Magnolia – our Library, our restaurants and retailers, and our beautiful seaside location. Please join this musical celebration!
Free event, but support of the musicians and the library gratefully accepted!
