Two weeks from today is the JamFest!!

Stage in waiting - with some protection from the weather

Looks like a good size group coming so we'll need a little traffic control!

All music stages need a rug - so we've got a rug! (and a little "Wildernest" banner!)

The Orange Trail is under there somewhere!

Conversation at breakfast after the storm last night:

Glynda: How much water was in the rain gauge?
Jim: None.
Glynda: None?  How can that be?
Jim:  It had blown over!

Hummers are getting ready to go south!

Yesterday we were holding the feeder in our hand and they were still coming to it and sometimes several were swarming around our heads.

Today I've been photographing them through the kitchen window.  Seven on a feeder at the same time happens only just before migration when they don't attack one another.

Another shot through the kitchen window.

Wildernest Treehouse JamFest

Plans are moving along for the music event in October.  What was initially looking like a modest gathering has been growing.  Right now there are plans for about a dozen musicians and a pretty good size crowd in attendance. The confirmed musicians include the Blues Monday group from Zazuz, Kent Gooding of "Slightly Tilted", KMG (Kevin, Mia, and Gus), and Tami Hix.  Jack "Scruffy" Ainsworth will be there and will hopefully do a few songs.  We've cleared a much larger area around the Treehouse and have added a stage, mowed a good size area in the west meadow for parking, put out a bunch of solar lights for the trail, and there's a generator onsite about 300-400 feet from the treehouse.  I think that Gus is planning on bringing the Crossroads sound system.  Word is getting around town and it seems like everyone wants to come.  It's really hard to know what to expect but - we'll find out.  It's just over a month away!
