Who doesn’t love Spring? Opinions may differ about Summer, Fall,
and Winter, but we all seem to love Springtime. We would like to express
our appreciation to famed local artist David Heath, who graciously
allowed us to feature one of his paintings on the cover, and also to The
Little Gallery, who made the painting available to us.
In this issue, we introduce the “Weeder’s Digest”, a gardening guide
provided courtesy of Diamond Hill Garden Center. As always, we bring
you fascinating local history, interesting and inspirational local people,
and vibrant images of our natural surroundings.
So, dust off the garden tools, get out the fishing tackle, and don’t
forget to check the calendar… it’s show time!
