Good Morning Gloucester

I was up in Portsmouth with friends Saturday night and a gentleman had an enormous telescope set up on the street and was offering the chance to take a peek at Saturn. While it was visible with the naked eye it was obviously tiny, but it was crystal clear through his telescope and I was so sad that we stopped to take a look. Saturn is 870,000,000 miles away….. which for even a non-astronomy nut like myself is pretty mind-boggling.

This Great Blue Heron was actively hunting in the bright fall sunshine when I stopped to watch. They are fascinating. Though it’s backlit, I think the photos came out well enough to share. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to watch one of these beauties.

With Summer slamming to a close and it being cold and raw out we’re gonna do a roundup of the best French Onion Soup around town, probably including all of Cape Ann.

Criteria which I think we can all agree on- served in a proper French Onion soup crock, the cheese be the right mix and crusted over the top, the broth be hearty and most importantly, flavor.

Here’s 525. Please nominate local place where you think they have great French Onion soup for us to try. Let me know where you think we should go next.

Morning Ramble…

115 East Main St Gloucester

I took a little ride up to the O’Maley school to see the new sculpture installation on the outside wall facing the street. It’s quite lovely and, as you can see from the clip included, a joint project with students and teachers and artist Tim Mears. Funded by Gloucester Education Foundation and the Bruce J. Anderson Foundation. We look forward to any future work done!

What’s a Full Spectrum?

Full spectrum CBD Oils contain the hemp plant’s original terpenes and other types of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and less than 0.3% THC.  Oils with the full spectrum of these compounds are healthier due to the different cannabinoids working together synergistically.

Terpenes that create hemp’s flavors and aromas have health benefits (including promoting relaxation, calm and sleep).  These compounds are crucial to the range of beneficial action that hemp extract has on the human body.

The Healthiest CBD oils are made using cultivation and production methods that grow, preserve, and capture more of these natural hemp components.
