Marina Evans at the Cape Ann Museum
July 28, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum
A brave composer, performer and traveler, Marina Evans will perform as part of the Cape Ann Museum’s Free Music in the Courtyard series on Friday, July 29 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm.
Evans combines strong, sultry vocals with traditional folk americana and an indie pop edge to create a sound that is all her own. Her studio work deftly combines various styles, genres, and instrumentation – from sweet ballads to folk anthems to straight up rock and roll – and paints a picture of a versatile and passionate artist.
Her unique sound and powerful stage presence have earned her opening sets for such legends as Judy Collins, Jonathan Edwards, Loudon Wainwright III, and Ellis Paul. A bold, honest performer, clever lyricist and a dedicated songwriter, Marina Evans is a star on the rise whose songs and spirit are not to be missed.
This program is free and open to the public.
Interested in supporting the Museum through membership? Join now and get discounted tickets to all of our events!
*In the event of inclement weather the concert will be moved inside the Museum.

Fred Bodin’s Birthday Today
Fred was someone you will never forget and even though you didn’t know it was his birthday today I bet you thought of him in the past week. His voice I can hear like it was yesterday, why Shaggy was Shaggy, Cape Ann Tool chimney, and stuff.
I did a google for Fred and it is amazing how many hits and images. But when we both convinced ourselves, “if you do it, I’ll do it”, and we showed up for Felicia’s party in Tuxedos, is my favorite. Shaggy front and center.

CECROPIA MOTH CATS
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIXa1mEj3et/
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIVzkOLjfjY/
Don’t you love the colors of the third stage, or instar, of the Cecropia Moth caterpillar? Only about an inch and a half long in the photo, in the final fifth instar, before it pupates into a cocoon, the caterpillar will be as large as a large man’s thumb.
In its second instar in the above photo, the caterpillar resembles the developing birch flower catkins. This is an evolutionary form of mimicry against predation by birds. Cecropia Moth caterpillars eat not only the foliage of American White Birch trees, but also other species of birch trees, apple, ash, beech, elm, lilac, maple, poplar, Prunus and Ribes species, white oak, and willow.
First instar Cecropia Moth Caterpillars
Thank you so much again to my friend Christine for the gift of the Cecropia moth eggs.

Video-Never Been More Enthusiastic About A Hot/Cold Tumbler Than The One I Got
Forgot my tumbler at work again last night. I got an iced coffee at 10 yesterday morning. Just checked it at 11:10AM over 24 hours later and it still had cold liquid and ice in it!!!
I LOVE the fact that it’s 30 oz and can hold a lot of coffee or water.
I LOVE the fact that it doesn’t leave ringlets of condensation because it doesn’t sweat and ruin my furniture or leave nasty water in my cupholders.
I LOOOOOVE the fact that I can use a minimal amout of ice and not have to replenish it all day long!
If you haven’t got one I feel sorry for you because your life is not complete without one, LOL.
Here’s the link to get one with two different style lids, one open and one with a locking lid- Buy it on Amazon by clicking this link $16.95
They are just like the YETI ones that sell for three times as much and only give you the one non-locking lid. $16.95 is like stealing this 30 oz tumbler!

Are North Shore bird sightings published in the Boston Globe? If so Gloucester horseshoe crab, plover sandpiper somethings, red knots
I saw the BIRD SIGHTINGS call out in the Sunday Boston Globe and noted the Plum Island list. (Under ‘Miscellaneous’ there is one bird listed from Gloucester.) I have no idea if that is the MassAudubon customary geographic selection, randomly culled, or all that’s available at the time of publication. I suppose I was looking for a ‘Gloucester’, ‘North Shore’, or ‘Cape Ann’ heading. I am confident the region is represented because folks like Chris Leahy, Dave Rimmer, Essex Greenbelt, other experts, citizen scientists, and fans report from our communities.
*This just in update: Dave Rimmer reports that the piping plover fencing at Good Harbor came down today.
GMG features many bird photographs, from FOBs and contributors especially Kim Smith and Donna Ardizzoni. Here’s an unofficial appreciator’s list with a few Gloucester sightings: ‘sandpipers’ on Long Beach last week. Piping plover (heard/saw),’plovers’ and ‘sandpipers’ on Good Harbor beach on July 25. One (dead) horseshoe crab and 1 sand dollar (alive) off Wingaersheek on July 26. Piping Plover (heard/saw) on Good Harbor this morning. What have you seen?

Pick #2: B. Good Festival at the Farm
Festival at the Farm is about connecting a community around great live music and delicious, local food and drink. And then giving back all the proceeds to our community together.
There’s no better time to do it than on a Summer afternoon. No better place than on a beautiful farm with a picturesque hill as the backdrop.
The farm provides natural good vibes with plenty of elbow room, a huge dance floor, and sprawling lawn for picnics, games, and booths where you can meet our farmers and charity partners. It’s about creating a community event that’s good for all — music lovers who want to jam, foodies who want to eat delicious food and drink craft beer, and kids who want to run free.
We’re out to do some good by delivering good times for everyone on the farm.

Pick #3: See The Whales
One of my very best friend’s husbands, whom I adore, told me the other day that he has never seen a whale! Wait, what!? Hailing from Connecticut and having lived on Cape Ann for well over a decade….how is that possible!! Sorry, T!
So, if you’re like him…. it is time. Even if you’ve seen 1,000 whales, it could never be enough!

Two more days and Stage Fort Park becomes Gloucester’s shoreline amphitheater for Country Fest. @cassadeepope headlining, also Houston Bernard Band and Southern City Band
Apparently and not surprisingly Ringo helps Boston Fence set in the fences at Stage Fort for Gloucester’s first country fest, coming this Saturday noon -5 (gates open 11 AM). I didn’t stop to chat or take more photographs because we were in the middle of a Gloucester beaches challenge. What an unforgettable venue to listen to Cassadee Pope (big single out right now and Voice Season 3 winner. Who was her coach?) and Boston bands Houston Bernard Band and Southern City Band ! Cassadee Pope’s twitter photograph features beach/dune background. Wonder where it was taken? Everyone will have some good photos from Stage Fort. You can listen to Ringo and Emily talk to Joey about the Country fest on the podcast.

Fiddlehead Ferns – Considered a gourmet, wild food found locally from April – July.
I was first introduced to fiddleheads in the 1980’s. A side dish sautéed by my friend Michael Claudio was a delicious accompaniment to one of his many amazing, gourmet meals.
Fiddlehead Nutrition Facts – Low in calories – 34. High in vitamin A (72%) and Vitamin C (44%) (per 100 grams.)
Shop Local. ‘Fresh is Best. Fiber is Filling.’ Though I occasionally had seen fiddleheads at local farm stands and produce stores since I first had them, I had never ventured to cook them myself. This spring I began seeing and enjoying fiddleheads on the menus of some higher end Cape Ann restaurants. Delicious! So when I saw them at a local farm stand (not on Cape Ann and whose name will remain anonymous!) I decided to add them to a meal I was preparing…

Chances go up exponentially that you will get a succinct answer in a more timely manner and if that person is unable to answer a phone call immediately, they can text you back as soon as they can.
