Marshfield Caregivers

Grounds/Garden Notes
The white rose bushes at the entrance as well as the butterfly bush by the patio are in bloom. A hummingbird feeder has been placed by the butterfly bush; this should draw hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Be sure to set outside and enjoy the birds and our beautiful garden during the summer months.

STRESSED OUT????
Most doctors agree that Tai Chi and Chi Kung help alleviate stress and aid in regaining your sense of balance. Qi or Chi is the unseen "life energy" or vital force" flowing within each human being and regulates our mind and body. Chi Kung is the work or practice of our energy as Tai Chi is played as an exercise to cultivate physical harmony to control and lower blood pressure, improve stamina and even keep students youthful. It's a wonderful self-healing technique and it's fun. Please join our class on Monday mornings at 10:00am.
Thanks, Mike Showstack

Mass Audubon's John Galuzzo Presents:
The Ospreys of the South Shore
July 27th, @ 1:00 PM
There was a time, not too long ago, when one could almost speak of the osprey in the past tense in Massachusetts. The same chemicals that were killing off the American bald eagle were striking at the heart of the osprey population. But heroic efforts by volunteers on the South Coast and South Shore enabled the ospreys to make a dramatic recovery to prominence in the state, bringing it back from the edge of extirpation and extinction. Join John Galluzzo, adult program coordinator and citizen science coordinator for Mass Audubon's South Shore Sanctuaries for a journey though the life of this special South Shore iconic bird.
