What a beautiful day Saturday turned out to be. The river was crystalline (and flowing fast), the beer was delicious, and the night was filled with fire and music. Joel Winstead captured the 2015 solstice party zeitgeist in some sketches.

Thanks for coming to the solstice party! Support local music; come hear Where’s Aubrey’s CD release concert this Friday at the Brightbox in Winchester.
Odin is the new black kitty. One day he showed up on top of the recycle pile in the basement. Now he lives here.
Ike is the old man. He looks silly when he’s shaved for the summer. Dignity?
Newly shaved Ikey.
Mr. Pea was playing with Odin on the porch. Not the best angle, but this was amazing. The kitty was batting the crest on the top of Mr Pea’s head as he waggled it like a miniature blue bull fighter.
Three years ago I stole some miniature irises from April in NH. Flew them down in my suitcase and planted them the next day. They have finally come into their own.
