Jayme Stone in Ayr

Its been yet another long stretch between blog posts. Peter and I are busy digging in the dirt working through the 40 cubic yards of triple mix delivered in the last couple of weeks. Planting should start soon.


However, this winter, we have been regular attendees at the Snowed In series at the local art gallery Ayr Space:

A STUNNING line up of Canadian talent has been through town once a month for the past 4 months. Last night, I was organized enough to take a couple of pictures of the event with the consent of the gallery owner, Jill Yuzwa. Last night's performance did not disappoint with the Juno award winning Jayme Stone:

Jayme was accompanied last night two other fantastic performers; one the double bass and the other on the cello. The music was engrossing and evocative and among the very best live performances I have ever attended. Jayme's CD's are being ordered presently.

P's Latest

P just completed a baby blanket that a friend of ours commissioned him to knit for an anonymous Christmas donation to a 'young expecting mom-to-be' in the new year. The gender is unknown so he used some gender neutral colours.

Jesse

Jesse is our next door neighbour and the sweetest girl you could ever meet. Unfortunately, she has metastatic bone cancer and will leave us forever this coming Friday. As soon as I heard the news, I asked if I could take photos of Jesse for both our neighbours and for ourselves. The light was super harsh on this sunny January morning. I may try again later this evening.
