I was talking to Yvonne Harris over at a.m. Fog just the other day. You hear about about her and Ken every morning on our webcast. They’re just up the road on the Nelson-Albemarle County Line on Route 151. She was telling me they already have zucchini & squash. Yep Homer it’s true!

Which begs the question… What’s in your food??? You have to be careful about what you feed yourself and your kids these days, been paying attention to the news lately?
And just across the road at Blue Mountain Brewery they’re serving a cherry/chocolate/goat cheese crumble made with amFOG cherries. Now that is yummy!

After a cool night, Wednesday was another very pleasant day. Perfect weather for the start of the portable skateboard park at Rockfish River Elementary. It’s on loan through The Nelson County Parks and Recreation Department from the Augusta Parks Dept. through this weekend. The folks over at SkateNelson.org have been working to get a permanent skatepark here.
One of the many that turned out Wednesday afternoon to give it a try.
The park will be there Thurs & Fri 4-8 pm & Sat 9-12 if you want to go on by!
The nice weather will continue today with a slight chance of scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Again, like yesterday, most everyone will stay dry.
Look for mild temps to continue with slightly better chances for rain by the weekend, but again very widely scattered in nature and most folks will remain dry.
