That the Linnet is currently Red Listed in the UK?  The linnet is a small Old World finch that was common in the British Isles up until the 1970s, when changes in farming practices, and the use of herbicides to kill weeds, drastically reduced the Linnet’s food sources

The Linnet is about six inches long, has a rapid twittering song, and migrates in flocks across the British Isles sometimes going farther south in the winter. The male has a grey head with a crimson crown, and the female is plain brown. The English name, Linnet, comes from the Latin lin and linum, for linen, through the Middle French Linnette, because the bird feeds on flax seed. The scientific name, Carduelis cannabin, comes from the Latin carduelis—of the family of small finch-like birds, and cannabin—of the hemp seed—because the bird also feeds on hemp seeds.

The bird was a popular pet in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Tennyson mentions “the linnet born within the cage” in part 27 of the poem In Memoriam A.H.H, the same section that contains the famous lines “‘Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all. 

An appropriate name for Greg Bover’s sailboat.  It is the same name his wife’s family always gave to their boats.

Hi Joey,

I had a wonderful visit from my best friend from high school who now lives in Florida and writes a blog.  She posted about her visit to Cape Ann and I thought you might find it interesting and I would love to share it with the GMG community.

We had a great Mug Up this Sunday.  Linda Colman, FOB from Ann Arbor, MI came by with Bill Heckencamp and Jane Gibbs from Newburyport.  Charity Ciaramitaro came bearing warm bagels and cream cheese, and showed us her first paintings and some of her photography (the first she had shown them to anyone – it is a great honor to be the first to see someone’s work, and it was wonderful – she has a great eye).  Schooner Adventure’s Peter Souza stopped by bearing a CD gift of sea songs by John Roberts.  The Boss was here as was Thom Falzarano, Ed Collard (who brought some glazed “walnuts” to taunt Paul “Paulie Walnuts” Frontiero with), Paul and Kathy Frontiero brought themselves and brownies with “walnuts”, R.D., Paul and Sue Morrison (who made some awesome zucchini bread from the monster zuccini in their garden – see R.D. pictured with it, the bread, not the monster zuccini), Ruth brought a cool fruit salad and Winslow came bearing blueberry muffins.  Greg Bover was back for a visit from his organ installation at Harvard and arrived in his sailboat.  I made my famous coffee and deviled eggs (in spite of the previous day’s egg explosion event).  Everyone had a great time and no one left hungry.

Then followed that beautiful season… Summer….
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

@StevenGDT–

#Birdseye #Gloucester Jim Davis owner of New Balance buys Birdseye from developer Mac Bell for $6.5 million. Bell bought it for $2.25mil.

Joey writes-

My guess is that for that sum of money it would include more property than just the Birdseye Property, but that is only my uniformed guess.  look for Steven’s Story In the Gloucester Daily Times Tomorrow
