Pasta day at Sista Felicia’s

Yesterday was the annual pasta making day at Sista Felicia’s as we prepare for the St. Joseph’s feast day next month.  Many hands make light work…along with lots of laughs and memories.   This year we donned our “house aprons” like our grandmother’s and aunts used to wear and we could definitely feel their presence!

Our Friend TeriLeigh sees Chakras and is coming to Gloucester in March

Cape Ann Power Yoga's avatarCape Ann Wellness

I’m as skeptical as any one, and this woman is legit.

I met TeriLeigh within a few months of meeting Elizabeth in 2010 and like I said I don’t go for hocus-pocus, but this is different. She legit sees peoples’ chakras – the same way Elizabeth expertly sees peoples’ posture. It’s some type of magic, and I wholeheartedly encourage you come and see what she has to say for yourself. You may not be pleased with what you have to hear, but you’ll but be happy to have heard it. The class will be our classic vigorous power yoga, but the workshops will not be hot. Come and check it out.

And If That Mockingbird Won’t Sing…

We found a Snowy at Salisbury Beach State Reservation recently perched at the top of a tree at the edge of the property.  A mockingbird joined briefly and it brought the lullaby to mind.

We also saw several turkeys that day, including one pretty high up in a tree. They looked (and sounded) a great deal like those lawmakers you see streaming out of a building looking all official and ready to burst with some kind of rhetoric.

What Settings Do You Prefer for Relaxation and Learning?

Karen Pischke BSN, RN's avatarCape Ann Wellness

Home much does the environment affect your ability to relax and learn? 
I have offered sessions and trainings in many settings, from hospitals to horse farms. No matter where I am, I feel the work is the same. I wonder though, how much does the space make a difference to the enjoyment and learning experience of students and clients.
What is your favorite setting in which to ‘Relax and Learn?’ This poll only takes a few moments. Your feedback is much appreciated and will determine the location of future classes and sessions.

LOBSTER TRAP TREE TRAPS GOING TO THEIR NEXT LIFE

 

As David Brooks and crew were dismantling the tree, the lobstermen who bid on them were loading the traps onto trucks. The men paid handsomely for the traps, with profits from the bidding going to help support next year’s one and only #GloucesterMA Lobster Trap Tree.

MR. SWAN AND THE YOUNG SWAN UPDATE -By Kim Smith

Mr. Swan is back to frequenting both Niles and Henry’s Pond. He’s reveling in the return of warmer temperatures, which with it bring access to his preferred freshwater nesting sites. As I was walking alongside the pond at twilight, he suddenly flew overhead. I wish I had a better photo, but here you can see he is flying well, and it was wonderful to see him looking so full of vigor in the fading rosy light.

The Young Swan is also faring well this winter. His kindhearted caregiver Lyn has taken to calling him Thomas, after Farmer Thomas Niles, who at one time owned all of Eastern Point, and for whom Niles Pond and Niles Beach are named.

BEAUTIFUL FISH: MACKEREL -By Al Bezanson

 MACKEREL (Scomber scombrus) Drawing by Luella E. Cable

On dark nights the schools are likely to be betrayed by the “firing” of the water, caused by the luminescence of the tiny organisms that they disturb in their progress. The trail of bluish light left behind by individual fish as they dart to one side or the other, while one rows or sails through a school on a moonless, overcast night when the water is firing, is the most beautiful spectacle that our coastal waters afford.

From Fishes of the Gulf of Maine by Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953

When bluefish invade mackerel schools at night the fireworks on display below are spectacular. The larger streaks tearing through a mackerel school tell the story.

Reflections on a Beautiful Day

On one of the beautiful days we had this week, GMG Jimmy and I headed over to the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.  Apparently we were not the only ones in the region to do the same thing and they turned us away because the lots was full.  Not to be deterred in our hunt for wildlife and/or scenic pictures on a gorgeous day, GMG Jimmy set out to find us some beauty.

We found the Bradley Palmer State Park nearby and pulled in.  Though we were delighted that the parking was free, we were a tad concerned about the number of people saddling up their horses for a ride.  It felt as though we should have brought one along with us so we could fit in better.

Again, of course, we were not the only ones seeking to enjoy the temperatures and the sunshine.  Kids on bikes, walkers, runners, and the aforementioned horses were all out to revel in the day.  Wildlife took a hike themselves and we didn’t see any.

But we did see some pretty neat reflections and shadows. We were a little surprised to see ice still covering the water.  Except for the texting teenagers, it felt a little primeval.
