Saturday Clean Up

The One Hour at a Time Gang’s schedule for Saturday.

Hi kids:

 Hope all is well.  When I was watching the Oliver Hazard Perry coming in on Monday was at the open lot facing Ten Pound Island.  It is a mess.  Thought a good idea to go over and clean this up on Saturday.  To find the lot go down Commercial Street to the end.  We need to keep this spots clean before the trash goes into the ocean.

 When:                  Saturday:  August 13, 2016

Time:                    8:00 – 9:00

Where:                 Empty lot at the end of Commercial Street

 Please bring gloves and I will supply the bags. 

Thanks all

Need Your Advice!

Ok, friends.  I’m looking for advice.

I want to take the boys away for a quick little getaway (just 2 nights) before heading back to school.  For the past many years we have faithfully gone to both Mystic, CT and North Conway, NH for short vacations.  Truth be told we love both of those trips and could be totally happy repeating either one of them.  But….there is definitely something to be said for going somewhere new.  I’ve been stalking airbnb and homeaway for affordable little rentals as well as some camping sites.  We went to Lake Winnipesaukee for a quick trip a couple of weeks ago.  Likewise, we already have one night booked at a campsite that is a short drive away….so probably don’t need to camp twice.  Unbelievably (maybe) we’ve never gone to Cape Cod….except for our many trips to Nantucket.  So that is an option.  We also did a day trip to Peaks Island, Maine last year….and I’ve been wanting to go back over night and maybe even see a Portland Sea Dogs game….so that is an option too.

Who has an idea for me….within driving distance…and budget friendly?

BONNIE BONAPARTE’S GULLS IN THE HOOD!

Bonaparte's Gulls Gloucester Massachusetts -2 copyright Kim SmithBonaparte’s Gulls

Recently, several Laughing Gulls were spotted all around Cape Ann. Laughing Gulls are easy to confuse with Bonaparte’s Gulls, which at this time of year, also have black heads. As the breeding season winds to an end, the Bonaparte’s black head feathers give way to white, where only a smudge of an earmuff will remain. Bonaparte’s Gulls breed in the Arctic; we see them on both their northward and southward journeys and some make Massachusetts their winter home. Small flocks of Bonaparte’s Gulls can be seen at area beaches including Good Harbor Beach, Lighthouse Beach, and Wingaersheek Beach.

While foraging, Bonaparte’s Gulls vigorously churn the sandy bottom with their feet to stir up tiny marine creatures. Note the transitioning head feathers in the above gull.

They are feeding intently, fortifying for the migration, and often get into disagreements over feeding turf.

The easiest and quickest way to distinguish Laughing Gull from Bonaparte’s Gull is to look at the legs and feet. Bonaparte’s Gulls are a vivid orange, more pink later in the season. The Laughing Gull’s legs and feet are blackish-reddish.

    My friend’s college daughter shared this video so I’m thinking Allure may have a hit.

    I was moved she shared it with her mom, and her friends. Should I be surprised  20 somethings are sharing it? Less than 10,000 views when I saw it.

    Pet of the Week-Skye


    Hello my name is Skye and I am a sweet Border Collie mix about 1.5 years old. 

    My foster Mom says I am a total sweetheart but very energetic. I will do best in a home with lots of activity ( Maybe Agility would be good). I am crate trained and will whine a little but do very well in the crate. My foster mom says that I love lap time even though I am not your typical lap dog size. I love all the pups here from young to old and have gotten along with them all. If you are familiar with border collies or have an active lifestyle maybe I am the dog for you. Please stop by and meet me and see if we are a perfect match. 

     For more information on the available animals at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website:capeannanimalaid.org. 

    The shelter right now is in need of –PATE STYLE CAT FOOD and PEDIGREE CANNED PUPPY FOOD. Thank you .

    Oh, A-Rod

    So, Alex Rodriguez returns to Fenway Park to face the Red Sox for what will most likely be the last time tonight.

    It is hard not to think back to 2004 and that time when A-Rod slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s glove… like a four year-old who didn’t want to share a toy…during Game 6 of the ALCS.   You may recall that the Red Sox went on to win that game…as well as Game 7, to go on to the World Series.  Which, of course, we also won.  Chills.

    I photographed almost every home game during the 2004 season and that little episode only fueled the fans desire to win that much more as the team returned home.  Which, I didn’t think was even possible.
