Save The Date/ Hammond Castle

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Reblogged from Hammond Castle FaceBook Page

This April, the Hammond Castle Museum will present “Gertude Cawein at Hammond Castle Museum,” a new exhibit of nearly 60 works or art by Eric Pape, the distinguished artist and former Annisquam resident.
This exhibit offers a unique insight into the multifaceted talents of Pape. Renowned as a painter, designer of the iconic “Tablet Rock Memorial” in Stage Fort Park, and a society portraitist, Pape’s brilliance shines through various mediums, including pencil, pen, watercolors, and oils. At the heart of this celebration is the full-length portrait of Gertrude Cawein, painted by Pape and loaned from the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky. For the first time outside the Filson, visitors can witness this rare example of Pape’s work as a society portraitist. The majority of the works will be on loan from the private collection of esteemed Pape collector and biographer, Dr. Gregory Conn.
The exhibit will run from Friday, April 5th through April 28th from 10:00am-4:00pm. There will be an opening reception in the evening on Saturday, April 6th, so mark your calendar!
Hammond Castle Museum is our featured Business Spotlight of the week! Visit http://www.hammondcastle.org to learn more and plan your visit. Stay tuned for exhibit details and ticket info coming soon!

Shrieking Gulls

Posted on by Pat D

On Sunday’s podcast, we briefly talked about the shrieking of the gulls on Main St. I believe Joey mentioned he hadn’t noticed that too much from our vantage in the West End. That’s all that needed to be said before the gulls began to party.

Winter Routine — pat morss

Things are slow as we all settle into the winter routine.

Stripes of reeds, gulls, ice, and open water at Niles Pond.
Only one day of adequate ice for skating so far.
A USCG cutter tows F/V Orion, with a dead engine, home into Gloucester at dusk.
Color at dessert time on the suet sideboard. Here are the RED, …
… the WHITE, and the BLUE.
This Red-tailed Hawk is such a regular, I think we should name him or her ‘Randy.’
“Randy Red-tail. I love it. I’m so proud.”
Deer foraging for a late dinner, next door on the frozen ground.
“I’m the leader of the pack” – the first coyote is already down the path and on the rocks.
“I’m the defensive one” – the second coyote sees me, when at the top of the path.
“I’m the red one” – the third coyote just follows the others, often trotting to catch up.
“I’m the timid one” – the fourth coyote retreats back up the driveway to find a safer route.
Winter days often end with a unique sunset, here featuring the Boston skyline.

PSA: For the record I don’t hate on Taylor Swift…

I do love the memories I have as a Patriots fan and the dominance that we shared as a fan base for so long.

The Chiefs have a long way to go to top that but they’re definitely on the road to that.

As a holder of the great memories tied to having the greatest football dynasty of all time I’d like to retain that as a fan and reserve the right to root against any team that is on the way to potentially long long long time away from now, threatening that.

Also, mentioning that they may be on the way to that kind of achievement doesn’t mean they’ve already got there. The Chiefs have a loooong way to go.

That all being said, they are definitely special in the way we were for all those years.
