Animal wildlife rehabilitator Erin Hutchins recently shared a link to her Amazon fundraiser to help gather supplies for Cape Ann Wildlife rehabilitation center. She is so deeply touched at how generously folks have given to her fundraiser that she is actually tearing up when she sees the items on her doorstep. Erin is sending GMG readers a HUGE THANK YOU!!! and wants everyone to know how these supplies are going to be of such tremendous help.
Clearing at Grant Circle on the Cape Ann Museum properties revealed a carpet of grape hyacinth scilla (correction thanks to helpful GMG reader comment). The patch across the street is a favorite stretch of spring.

Future Mom and Dad Osprey just arrived at the Greenbelt Osprey perch behind Lobsta Land. No need to annoy them in person because Greenbelt has a live cam on them.
Osprey just arrived for the opening of Lobsta Land waiting on their order of Lobster Quesadilla
Checking it out since they have arrived, Rubber Duck quick tips:
• Scroll to window that is black and click “Live”. If the water is rippling in the background you are looking at live.
• Pin the menu bar (bottom left).
• Go to full screen.
• Do this on an unused laptop and set up in living room so you have a live shot 24/7. • Live Feeds can take a minute to load. Fastest way to live is click on the film strip, watch a video clip of this morning, then click live. Boom.
Why would you do this? Because first comes love, then comes marriage, and then live sex show and baby osprey!
The camera is 2019 awesome. Way better than Joey’s house finch cam. If the live shot is the empty nest just click on the piece of film in the lower menu and check out what these love birds were doing this morning, or yesterday. But be sure to click back to live since this pair is only gone for a few minutes while they put nice fluffy stuff in the nest.
[edit] While you are there you can click on DONATE. you just paid your taxes yesterday and did you feel grinchy because your tax donations for charity were so measly? Start your tax year off right and do it now. They will build more osprey nests and we’ll end up with 24/7 free sex shows. Donate to Sexy Osprey click here. Volunteering or becoming a mamber is cool too.

Something went wacky when I tried to post this to the blog over the weekend and I’m pretty sure it didn’t get out there the way our posts normally do, so I am trying again! So, if you are thinking to yourself “I just saw this”, you might be right.
We are blessed on Cape Ann to have these lighthouses in our midst every day. These are for those who are far from home.

A class for families to share in the joy of yoga. Parents will join their children for a fun hour of yoga poses, games, and a quiet end with techniques offered for self-soothing at home. Recommended for ages 3-103! Parents of adult children can even enjoy the FUN!
This class is donation-based with all proceeds going to Boston Children’s Hospital “Yoga Reaches Out” fundraiser, taking place at Gillette Stadium on April 28. Members of the Treetop community will join with over 1000 yogis to practice yoga and raise critical funds for the amazing Wellness Program. The Wellness Program was designed to help families of patients cope with the stress that comes with having a child endure ongoing treatments or long stays in the hospital. The program provides a sanctuary for parents and family, giving them a place to unwind and offering healing support, such as yoga, exercise, and Reiki.
You know when you go to buy a birthday card at CVS and they’re all so sappy with superlatives that are completely over-the-top gushing about the person you’re buying the card for?
Well there truly aren’t enough superlatives for how much our mom does for us.
Even after losing our dad.
Knowing we can always count on her. She may not seem like a rock to everyone else but to the people that are really around our family, they all know how much of a rock she is.
We love you so much Ma. Wouldn’t trade you in for all the other mothers in the world.
You’re our rock. You’re our constant.
I wish a simple “thank you” could cover it all but there will never be thank you enough.
Love, us-

Best Razor I’ve Ever Used And It’s Not Even Close (‘cept the shave that is)…
The heft and solid feel of the handle they send you, the smoothness of the shave, the way lower cost. Dollar Shave Club IS AN ABSOLUTE NO BRAINER. It’s a downright luxurious shaving experience and it is one third the cost of buying Gillette Razors.
You can sign up, try it for one month and if you don’t like it cancel. There is no question in my mind that once you try it you won’t go back. Perfect stocking stuffer gift. $6
This was the original post which led me to ordering signing up for Dollar Shave Club about a week ago-
In light of my recent shaving disaster I’m taking my boy Rick Doucette’ (among other people’s) advice. Literally 7 different people emailed me today telling me how much they dig the dollar saving club service.
Rick Says These Razors Are Great and They Ship You 4 New Blades Each Month for $6 Including Shipping and Handling.
What a handsome son of a gun the Rick Doucette is.
So for $72 a year I’ll get 48 Blades. Way Less Than Gillette razors for the same quality shave. I get to toss the blades once a week and use a fresshie. They give you a free handle and if you don’t like the razors you simply quit without any obligation. No Brainer city baby.
Dollar Shave Club couldn’t be simpler. Select one of our great razors, pay one low monthly fee, and we send ‘em right to your door. No more over-paying for fancy brand name shave tech.
No more forgetting to buy your blades.

Beautiful but fleeting surprise spring sighting at Bass Rocks this weekend- a male Red-winged Blackbird collecting cattail fluff for nest building, and two species of herons foraging, a Great Egret and Black-crowned Night Heron. Oh Joyous Spring!
