Gardens and Summer Music

Our front yard has begun its full transformation with the addition of some grass. Mind you this was a while ago. I will post a real time picture update next thing.

The little quail family and the glow ball...

Well this is the first real flower that began to bloom in our slow to grow garden, a pretty purple/dark blue delphinium, but I forgot to rotate the picture first and now can't delelte it to fix it, so you'll have to cock your head to the side...sorry

Well, Gregg might have started the summer music season off, but his musical magic was under a roof with walls. Leave it to one of my favorites, the Indigo Girls to begin the outdoor summer music jam!

20 years later and Emily and Amy are still rockin. They will always be not only some of my favorite singer/songwriters but also some of my favorite harmonizers!

I had this picture zoomed in better but for some reason I can't get it to save...ay yi yi.
Anyway this is one of the outdoor gigs here- get this, it is at a gym...some fancy pants athletic club that has an outdoor space perfect for small live shows and to my surprise there are a lot of shows I am signed up with tickets to see there...the other place we have is an ampitheatre, still smaller scale but obviously much bigger with perhaps bigger acts, it is ironic there aren't as many shows I will be attending there- although I am really hoping to catch the Gambler, Kenny Rogers there at the end of September! Although, has anyone seen him lately? I hope he has sued his plastic surgeon cuz he looks freaky, not like the Kenny I grew up with or saw in 99'. Yikes! Another reason I need to go- so I can see this for myself!

Saw an artist new to my friend and I, Jonatha Brook, the other night, it was good, she's an eastcoaster, nice voice, writing and playing talent, but we didn't know the music, it was getting cold and Bonnaroo was broadcasting live, and Widespread Panic was playing -so needless to say we retreated to the homefront to get warm and jam out. Two live shows in one night, not a bad deal.

Next up, The Neville Brothers July 6th, a first for J & I, so we are really looking forward to it.

May everyone enjoy the universal language of music and the way it can make you feel or make you move. There is really nothing quite like it! Rock on.
