Just in the last week, all over this part
of Virginia the trees are budding out
in great profusion, announcing the
arrival of Springtime!

This is typical farm land scene
taken from the side of
the road in Goodview on our way from
a visit with Merle Dutton at Smith
Mountain Lake

This is the beginning of a storm rolling in from across this part of Virginia from the south and west. It is wonderful to experience these rains and the atmosphere afterwards.

This is looking of to the southwest from our veranda as the storm apporaches.
