My View of Life on the Dock
From Italy
Hiked Mt. Vesuvius and ran into a couple from San Francisco, who were traveling Europe. They had their drone out so we chatted about Snotbot and GMG, so they were excited about checking out the blog!
Note to self, carry more GMG stickers.

Beautiful Misty here! I am what the folks here call a Super Senior and my super power is “Instant Purr” because all you have to do is look at me and I purr! I am a sweet, yet shy lady who is looking for a home where I can spend the rest of my days.
I was brought in by a rescue group after I was surrendered to them by my owner. Luckily for me I was able to come here so I could have a second chance! It has taken me a little extra time to settle into the shelter, so I am looking for a family who is able to work with me to settle into their home. I am a true sweetheart after I get comfortable with you and the folks here tell me I would make a great companion for someone with a quieter home. Do you think we could be a match?

Friday night, April 14, from 8:00 pm to 9:30 is the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club’s “Welcome to Amateur Astronomy Night.”
This annual event is always a favorite. We’ll be featuring a group of quick, ten-minute presentations on topics of interest to anyone interested in pursuing astronomy, as well as a roomful of different binoculars and telescopes to inspect and ask questions about, and all the great conversation and goodies you’ve come to associate with GAAC meetings.
You’ll be able to find out more about what you need to get started, how to do astrophotography, places to shop and how much to spend, what you’ll be able to see, the advantages of different telescope optical designs and brands, and much more. And we’ll be raffling off a really nice pair of binoculars!
It all happens at 8:00 pm on Friday April 14th, at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan St. in…

I think these are Gloucester’s wind turbines, looking across Ipswich Bay. The photo was taken at Sandy Point. Please write if you believe otherwise. Thank you!
Super windy and chilly Saturday afternoon but nonetheless beautiful. I renewed our annual Parker River National Wildlife Refuge pass, which is good for one year, and think it is the best twenty dollars spent. Kudos for being the cutest pass, too!

The Seaside Garden Club welcomes the Backyard Growers on Tuesday, April 11, 7 pm at the Manchester Community Center. Guests are welcome, $5 fee.
Backyard Growers (BYG) is a grassroots organization helping to reshape Gloucester’s relationship with food. We provide resources and support to establish vegetable gardens and accompanying programming at homes, housing communities, organizations, and schools.
