That picture is the place I would pull up as a teenager and order 3 small hamburgers, just ketchup. We didn’t have a Krystal or White Castle in those days, just the DQ. Over 2 decades later I would still stop by that drive thru window from time to time on my 1.5 hour commute to Memphis to do weather on television. Power food for the road.

This past weekend our neighbors in both Nashville and to the west received unprecedented flooding. It’s the most seen since 1937. Back in 1937 they didn’t even have the levees in place they do today. Still, it was more than any man made pile of dirt and gravel could stand. For 20 years I covered floods in the mid-south, but not one like this. This is bad. Read bad.

While we enjoy some of the best weather yet this Wednesday, please remember the tens of thousands of folks to our west that have no power, have no home, have little hope today. It will get better, just not very soon.

Enjoy the sunshine and warmth here in the beautiful mountains of Virginia, but remember our neighbors there …

Nelson County, Virginia
The first weekend of May kicked off as a busy one here in Nelson. As usual, this time of year things begin picking up as the temperatures warm. The annual Wintergreen Ascent took place this past Saturday. Talk about going uphill! The Nelson Farmers Market Cooperative also opened Saturday. They remain open until this fall.

Up the road a bit on Sunday the annual Pre-Mother’s Day Plant Sale was held. And a bit of bad news this weekend, firemen spent much of late Saturday night and early Sunday morning battling a blaze in Arrington. They got it under control within a few hours.

The plants that love humidity were happy campers this past Sunday at the Annual Pre-Mother’s Day Plant Sale in Afton. Other than a little muggy feeling the weather was perfect. The day is co-sponsored by Rockfish Valley Ruritans and The Nelson County Master Gardeners.

Just about any plant thinkable was on hand at the sale.
