Another Towel
Love the face Gloucester’s Man at the Wheel shows so much. Shop local, you can purchase this towel directly through me directly or at Arts Abound at 21C Lexington Avenue, Magnolia, Gloucester, MA 01930. These Beach towels make great gifts. Thank you.

Fall Colors on the Salt Marsh
The beautiful colors shimmering in yesterday’s sunshine over the salt marsh caught my eye enough to turn around, park, and take a few photos.

Eagles in Magnolia!
A pair of magnificent bald eagles came to rest in a tree in our backyard yesterday afternoon in Magnolia. One was calling out and it sounded as though “she” was right next to me. The call went right through me. If you look carefully at these pictures, you can see the one on the upper branch calling out. The pair flew off and a singleton landed again a few minutes later, so I can only confirm 2 in the area though it could possibly be 3. Hoping to see them again soon. What a sight!!!!

It Bothers Me That You Can’t Have Separate iPhone Volume Levels For Ringtones and Alarms
This from Apple Toolbox:
Can I have a separate volume level for my iPhone ringtone and my iPhone alarms and notifications?
“Unfortunately, at this time, there is no way to separate the volume of your iPhone’s ringer for phone calls from the alert volume for things like alarms, texts, emails, messages, and other alerts–their sound is set at the same volume.
And we really don’t know why Apple ties both the ringer and alerts volume to the same volume slider. It’s doesn’t make sense for how we use our devices today!
So you cannot lower the volume for any alarm you use to wake up in the morning (or for whatever) without lowering the volume for incoming calls.
The current recommendation is to turn down the ringer volume slider each night, then turn it back up in the morning so you don’t miss any phone calls. Yeah…not ideal!”

Music on a perfect day
Jon Butcher performed for The Cabot as part of the Porch Sessions series at Hale Farm yesterday. It was a perfect weather day for some folksy and blues tunes in a small venue. Alan Estes accompanied on the mandolin and harmonica.
Afterwards we drifted over to Nunan’s Nursey in Georgetown for some mini golf on a beautifully landscaped course and checked out their fall display.

Pet of the Week- Aporia
Hi, my name is Aporia! I made my way to Cape Ann Animal Aid through the Feline Rescue Transfer program.

I have beautiful blue eyes, soft cream-colored fur, and probably have some Burmese in my family tree. I would love a quiet adult home where I can take some time to open up and explore on my own time. I am cuddly, loving, and adore being pet by the staff here and sitting in laps. I don’t seem extremely fond of the other cats though, so I would probably do best as the only pet in the home.

I am considered a special needs adoption due to ongoing digestive issues and inconsistent litter box usage. I am currently on a special diet food which has helped me with these issues, and it would be recommended to keep me on it. If you’d like to take in a sweet cat like me and don’t mind me being your one and only, please send in an application to meet me on video and learn more about me.
Visit the following section of our website if you are interested in adopting Aporia:https://www.capeannanimalaid.org/adopt.html

Howard Stern 120 million dollar deal. They call Stern the king of all media. While that might have been true once upon a time, ask any millennial if it’s David Portnoy or Howard Stern or teen if it’s Charlie Demelio or Howard Stern and I bet you get very different answers.

Two By Two
It’s not a song; it’s not a book title….it’s how the birds seemed to line up for us a few days ago on our ride around town. Egrets, herons and unknown small ones all lined up in pairs for the camera on a lovely sunny day. The egrets were checking out the other egrets on Jones Salt Marsh and the herons seemed to be waiting out high tide coming in on the back shore. Probably part of the blessings of fall migration.
