Even the gulls think the world is out of sorts. They are making nests out in the open on Main Street.
Prancing Deer — pat morss
Last evening we were treated to a 10-minute show of deer tearing around the Audubon land between us and the Eastern Point Lighthouse, having so much fun. If you can, view the last 7 photos in a quick “slide show” format.

Restaurants Reopening for Outdoor Seating Monday June 8
As you are probably aware, some of our restaurants will be allowed to reopen for outdoor seating starting Monday June 8. Please remember that restaurants will likely have limited seating so reservations will be very important. New procedures will be in place which are new for all of us, so be patient with staff and other customers as we all work our way through these new times.
Some of the restaurants we are aware of that are making plans for outdoor dining starting Monday include the following (images borrowed from each Facebook page)
Oliver’s Harbor (978-559-7638) plans to use their outdoor patio as well as some of the parking area for seating. Prime view of Main Street!

Captain Carlos is now accepting reservations at 978-283-6342. Their outside deck is awesome and we are looking forward visiting again.

We had takeout (wonderful) from Seaport Grille last night and they displayed a sign that they will also be offering outside seating starting Monday June 8 (978-282-9799). Looking forward to some key lime pie!!

Egret Basking in the Late Afternoon Sun
A beautiful sight on Niles Pond was presented to us to try out my new camera lens! It was such a perfect setting, I’m not sure it was actually a good test of the lens. But it was made even better by the company of family members. Thanks Paula, Lori and Chris!

Ayurveda ~
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, also known as Ayurvedic Medicine, is the traditional medicine of India, which originated there over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda emphasizes re-establishing balance in the body through diet, lifestyle, exercise, and body cleansing, and on the health of the mind, body, and spirit.
In North America, Ayurveda is considered a form of alternative medicine. Like traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda is a whole medical system, meaning that it is based on theories of health and illness and on methods of preventing and treating health conditions.
Because of its growing popularity, Ayurvedic treatments, particularly at spas and salons, are increasingly being performed by people who have not received formal training in Ayurveda. That’s why if you are interested in consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner, it is important to seek a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner and learn about their training.

Parker River Wildlife Refuge Partial Reopening Today June 4!
Parker River Wildlife Refuge announces on its Facebook page that it is reopening to motor vehicle traffic today Thurs June 4. This is one of my very favorite places to go and I have been missing it badly, so this is great news for us and I hope for others as well. This is part of their announcement:
As of June 4, 2020, access to the refuge is as follows:
OPEN:
• Refuge road is open to motor vehicles thru Hellcat; lower (gravel) road is closed.
• Stage Island Trail, Pines Trail, and Boardwalk 5
• Limited restroom facilities at Sub-Headquarters and Hellcat Parking Lots.
CLOSED:
• Visitor Center
• There is currently no access to the beach from the refuge. (Lot 1 boardwalk is closed.)
We are excited to welcome you back but do ask that you follow current CDC safe practices by maintaining a safe distance between yourself and other groups; washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and most importantly, staying home if you feel sick. Staff are working to maintain clean, safe, and healthy facilities in accordance with federal, state and local guidance.
These are from my last visit April 14. I wonder if they miss me……see you again very soon! Now waiting for good news from Mass Audubon……..
