It's 33.3 degrees
The WKTV weather forecast: "We'll really notice high pressure on Wednesday, as we should have sunshine from start to finish, with just a few fair weather clouds. It will be a bit cool, with a breeze, as highs aren't going to get much above the low 60s. After more patchy frost on Wednesday night, we expect another gorgeous day on Thursday. Temperatures will warm up a bit. Highs should be in the low 70s. Friday will be similar, with some high clouds moving in later. Highs once again should be in the low 70s."

Blog-readers seem to enjoy learning the names of roadside plants.
Here are two more that are just coming into bloom:

It's a wonderful idea, and - thanks to the Waterville Garden Club and the Waterville Women's Club - new planters have been affixed to our two "Welcome" signs.
They were filled with flowers on Sunday ....
and again on Monday ...
and again.
Now - they're NOT falling out by themselves, are they!

In the Mailbox: a nice E-note from Wendy Sexton's cousins, Ann and John Cockell in England, saying how much they had enjoyed the Memorial Day pictures - especially "the Salute." (Jack will get his own framed copy, today.)and again on Monday ...
and again.
Now - they're NOT falling out by themselves, are they!

I sent that picture, too, to a grand old friend - a photographer named Bill Snead (National Geographic, the Washington Post, etc., etc.) who has chastised me in the past for taking too many pictures of "ice crystals on tree bark." He immediately E-mailed his approval and attached some samples of his most recent work: unfortunately I dare not publish those here because he's doing a "shoot" in Las Vegas and, 'tho his showgirl subjects have lovely limbs, they're not clothed in bark --- or much of anything else, either!

I've received an E-note from Jeff Reynolds about a Very Special Event that will take place at the Waterville Public Library on Sunday:
"The celebrated tenor saxophonist Houston Person will bring his quartet to Waterville Public Library on Sunday, June 1st at 3pm. as part of the second annual "Jazz, Blues and Libraries Too!" concert series.
Houston Person has been in the forefront of the jazz world for the last four decades. He has recorded more than 75 albums as a leader on the Prestige, Mercury, Savoy and Muse labels. Houston is reluctant to categorize his own music but he is most associated with the hard bop and soul jazz genres. Throughout his career he has been featured alongside popular jazz vocalists including Etta Jones, Lou Rawls and Lena Horne. The "Jazz Blues and Libraries Too!" concert series is supported by the New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General and administered by the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
Last year's Al Gallodoro concert was standing room only, so we urge all to call the Library at 841-4651 for free tickets - NOW!"

From this Florida fisherman, a big "Hello!" and an invitation to "Come on Down!".
It's Jamie Bush, and he says that there are dolphins everywhere!
(If you want to write to Jamie - send a note to me and I'll forward it to him!)

I'm getting used to being the "switchboard" for people wanting to get together! This is a different sort of request:
Mr. Gordon Hayes of Clinton, whose name is no doubt familiar to many blog-readers, has a very interesting hobby: he seeks out and photographs wild orchids in their natural habitats. His collection is nearly complete; he's only missing one variety ---- the Cypripedium calceolus or "Yellow Lady Slipper" ---- and he's asked the blogger for help finding a specimen.
The only ones that I know of are in the depths of Nine Mile Swamp in a particularly dense area that's hard to get to. Mr. Hayes is quite spry for his age - 89 - but I'm not going to send him there because it involves quite a struggle over logs, through blow-down and into mud, so I'm asking .............
if there are any blog-readers who know of any easily-reached yellow slippers whose location you would be willing to share with him, please let me know soon. They should be in full bloom, now, and won't last very long. Thanks for your help!
In a matter of genealogical interest to Mr. Girard Plante, of Boston: can anyone tell him the location of his great-grandfather Patrick Kelly (or Kelley's) farm? Patrick's daughter, Mary, married Royal Plante. (I know of only two "Kelly" farms --- the one on Frog Park Road and the other on Cole Hill Road.)
