Saxman Jay

Jauuary 25 post.

Jay and I went to the Sunday afternoon Blues jam at the Tailgate in Gray Maine. Jay brought along his saxophone and joined in for a few songs. Here he is playing with Jessica Hines (vocals), Steve Baily (lead guitar), Jay (sax), Tom H-bomb Hines (drums), Don (percussion) and Kate (bass). And Happy Birthday Jessica. Good friends, good music... beautiful.

Winter flowers

Nothing else lifts my spirits more than seeing green growing plants. In winter, I satisfy this pleasure with houseplants and bulbs. The Narcissus bulbs that I started just after Christmas are finally starting to bloom. I tried a new set-up this year, planting them on blue glass in a large glass jar. The sun sparkles on the glass and the tall sides will keep the leaves from flopping over as the flowers mature. I wish you could smell the aroma also.
