Play Ball!
I’m just a little bit excited that it is baseball season again. I’ve used the word “giddy” a few times in some recent posts, but there’s truly no better word. I love the sport, but more than that, I love the tradition, the history, and the camaraderie. I’m not sure if there is anything better than a day inside Fenway Park with some great friends and/or family. The quintessential sensorial experience! The noise, the smells, the colors, the cold beer, and the sausage…peppers, onions, mustard, relish. Come on!
For me, though, it’s also the park. I love Fenway Park. I already peppered you with my love for the seats, but there’s so much more. I love the architecture. I love the brick. I love the grass. I love the lights. There’s something about how it all comes together that truly can take your breath away.
The Red Sox begin their 114th season today…and then there’s only 161 games left in the regular season. So, let’s buckle up and enjoy the ride.
In case you need a “Roster Refresher”
A little feel good baseball musical inspiration for you. Love this song.

Deb Represents! At The Alamo
Hi Joey –
Wonder if the GMG homey has been to the Alamo. In case the answer is no, here are some photos of a rather worn sticker in San Antonio to remember the Alamo.

Cape Ann Milkweed Project Update and HarborWalk Gardens Cleanup Update
Thank you so much everyone for your enthusiasm to plant more milkweed! What a terrifically caring bunch of FOBs we have here on GMG, and a what a terrific response to come home to! I apologize for my delayed response. I was in NYC with family celebrating our son’s 21st birthday. In the next few days, we’ll post the official order form. The projected pick up date will be the third Saturday or Sunday morning in May, the 17th or 18th, at Captain Joe and Sons. More details to follow!

HarborWalk Update: The HarborWalk Butterfly Gardens Cleanup is postponed until Sunday, April 6th at 10:00. We’ll meet in the parking lot in front of the Gloucester House. Sharpen your pruners and come on down and learn about some of the native beauties planted at the gardens! Thank you to everyone who is planning to come. You don’t need to be a gardener to lend a hand and I will have extra pruners and rakes available.

Sunday March 30th , 2014 Coastal Flood Threat Cape Ann ..
Not much flooding occurred at midday high tide , took a quick video cast to share with u . More concerned with tonight’s tide and Monday’s with cutoff LP south of us spinning in and generating a NE fetch off the ocean .. Rain should let up now with a return tonight and Monday , with colder air being drawn down from the north can’t rule out some snow shower activity getting involved as LP slowly moves off to the east ….
Also NE winds will begin to pick up late today and strengthen through Monday !
Pics from today’s High tide..
