My View of Life on the Dock

So, it’s not necessarily a real thing, but I’m going to refer to my meal at Tonno the other night as winning the trifecta. We started with delicious cocktails….mine was a pomegranate margarita, moved on to amazing entrees…mine was cod over creamy potatoes (which I made the rookie mistake of starting to enjoy before taking a photo so the photo does not do justice!), and then we shared an unbelievable big slice of banana cheesecake. Like picking and winning the trifecta.



As I have described several times, we have a nest nearby that the eagles and the hawks have each been grooming and building over the past several weeks. Two years ago, there was a hawk family in there but last year it was empty. This year it seems to be a popular spot for both a pair of eagles as well as a pair of hawks. This creates a great deal of activity in our backyard here in Magnolia. Today I observed what I believe to be mating between a pair of nearby red tail hawks. The female flew into the tree from a nearby perch and the male soon joined. Shortly after they seemed to be done, the male flew off. Not a comment on male/female relations, but take from it what you will…….

It was VERY exciting to see the Schooner Adventure finally out from under cover! It bodes well for the upcoming season.

So many standards from the American Songbook were written by George Gershwin. Embraceable You, Our Love is Here to Stay and more. So many contemporary artists are revisiting and recording new versions of the old standards like Willie Nelson, Diana Krall, Linda Ronstadt. Why? Because this music is so timeless. And it’s great to dance to. We will be dancing to new versions of the Gershwin standards. Come join us at the Zoom Stardust Ballroom. Well at least join me in my basement studio and we will have fun dancing to the Tunes of George Gershwin.
For Restorative Yoga, find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work. For more information on Restorative yoga, check out my site, niawithlinda.com. It is a lovely passive practice that gives the participant relaxation and calm. Who couldn’t use that right now.

Gloucester Fishermen vs Winthrop Vikings Varsity Football replay 4/9/21

Just a few hours after the red tail hawks were hanging around in our Magnolia backyard, we noticed an eagle in the nest again. It was just one eagle and we did not spot the partner. It left the nest twice to get sticks for nest maintenance. It took a little poop break between trips; did the nest-work; and took off toward the harbor. It was a spectacular spring afternoon show! I have missed a couple of their recent visits so this was a great treat for me to be able to record it for myself.
I reflect on how fortunate I am to be living here, not only because it is the city of my ancestors; not only because of the blessings of the ocean and the light; but also to have my spirit bird hanging around right in my backyard where I can photograph them sometimes without leaving the house…….WOW.
