You’re Off to Great Places! Oh the Places You’ll Go…
…With your Fairy Dog Ma.
Take a snooze in the AC, like Jelli Bean, after a day full of Fun…
Romp on the Beach like Tango…
Or cuddle down for the night with, your bud, Paco’s closest companion…
Oh the Places You’ll Go when you have Jen Nicol as your Fairy Dog Ma!

As a fan of Both Apple and Android Products I Can Unequivocally State That Apple’s Lightning Cable Connectors>Micro USB Connectors
I have yet to have a micro USB cable that didn’t eventually loosen up over time , not make a connection or fail. Never had a single issue with a lightning cable.
In this department Apple wins and it’s not even close.

MONARCH BUTTERFLY EGG BONANZA!
Nancy’s Milkweed Field
Ninety-nine thank yous to Nancy Lutts of Salem who responded to my plea for Monarch butterfly eggs. She follows both GMG and my blog and emailed immediately after reading the posts. Nancy has the most amazing farm and fields located along the Danvers River. She and her family have been farming the land for decades. Nancy invited me to come and collect eggs. She had been to one of my lectures, but you hardly get to know people at the programs so it was a delight to meet her and super fun to peruse her fields for eggs while chatting and sharing butterfly info. 
Interestingly, Nancy’s plow wasn’t working as well as usual, so the mowing of her fields, which usually takes place in early summer, happened later than usual. Good thing! The two-inch tall emerging milkweed shoots were the females’ preference. This goes to a topic that is often brought up in the lectures that I give and one of the most frequently asked questions, “When is the best time of year to plow my fields?” I recommend plowing in early fall, well after the monarchs have emerged from their chrysalides and headed to Mexico. Although, the very, very best practice for the pollinators is to mow half a field annually, alternating from one side of the field to the other every other year. This allows for the pollinators to complete their life cycle within a two year time frame. The single greatest threat to Monarchs, as well as all bees and butterflies, is habitat destruction in the United States, whether it be from Monsanto’s Roundup or from mismanagement and loss of fields and meadows. 
Nancy has a truly fabulous butterfly and hummingbird garden that I’ll be back to photograph on a sunnier day.

On Golden Ponds
Barbara and I are just back from several days with our family in the Adirondacks. We hiked, kayaked, canoed, sang, ate and drank (a little).
Here is a short video of one of our kayak excursions. We explored two remote lakes; Osgood Pond and Deer River Flow, both in northern Franklin County, not far from the Canadian border.

Pet of the Week-Kenton
Kenton is what folks call me, along with extremely sweet and loveable! I am a happy young guy between 1-2 years old who loves to play and make new friends human and canine. Sniffing trails or romping in the play yards, these are all great fun to me. I am an active and friendly fellow waiting for my match, maybe it’s you?
Visit www.capeannanimalaid.org for more information about Kenton and all the other animals waiting for homes and be sure to visit our booth at the Waterfront Festival in Gloucester this weekend.
