It’s #NationalCheeseLoversDay

Did you know it’s National Cheese Lover’s Day!? We’re not making this up – search the hashtag.
Now that you know about this glorious, ooey gooey holiday, you *of course* have to celebrate. Lucky for you, the folks at Minglewood Tavern have a plan. In addition to their already cheese-filled menu (hello Nacho Pile of Love and Pizza) the chef has added a few specials to pay homage to the best form of dairy, like Mozzarella Bites & Queso Dip.

Moral of the story: embrace your passion for Swiss, mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar, American and goat – today is our day.

Nachos!

WHAT IS ORNITHOPHILY?

Male Allen's Hummingbird and Aloe Blossom www.kimsmithdesigns.comOrnithophily is the pollination of flowers by birds. Plants pollinated by birds generally have flowers with extra sweet, highly concentrated nectar. The blossoms are typically red or orange and have a long tubular shape, which allows them to hold ample amounts of the sugary sweet nectar. Birds that pollinate flowers, hummingbirds for instance, often have long bills, brushy-tipped tongues, and are light enough to perch on the flower, or display a form of flying called swing hovering, which allows them to drink nectar while suspended mid-air.

Nearly 130 species of North American plants have evolved ornithophilous associations. Bee balm, salvia, and native honeysuckle are examples of plants that are pollinated by both insects and birds.

THE POLLINATOR GARDEN ~ Please join me Tuesday, January 26th at 7:30 pm at the North Shore Horticultural Society, American Legion Hall, 14 Church Street in Manchester.

I hope to see you there!

Former members of The Jenny Dee and the  Deliquidation Band, they know how to whoop it up. I’ve been busy trying to learn 347 new tunes. Just to keep up. See you then!”

Team Mila’s Cancer Fund

Hey Joey,
I wanted to send this along to you.  If you choose to post to Good Morning Gloucester or not that is fine.  I realize things can get tricky when you support one cause and not all of them.  I figured I would just share the story and you can do what you want with it. 

I don’t know if you ever met Terri and Bob Jones. They had 4 children; 3 daughters and one son.  Jessica (Jones) Martineau her husband and 3 daughters live in Nahant. Her 19-month old (twin) daughter was just diagnosed with cancer last week.  Friends and family have started a Go Fund Me page for them. https://www.gofundme.com/teammila
As I said the family is spread throughout the US, I believe one sister still lives in Gloucester.  I am sure there are many deep connections here and it would be great if the community could give back.
