Salutations! Virginia has turned green — greener than green. This is the time of year all the plants start growing and turn our town into a lush, green beauty. The new ivy growth is vivid lime green lighting up our flower beds, and the birds are splashing around in the bath. It’s looking like Spring out there for sure. It’s been a hot week, but that’s okay.
