Wine Into Summer @ Wintergreen Winery
Wintergreen / Beech Grove, Virginia

Memorial Day is generally thought of as the official start of summer. The weather certainly said that over at Wintergreen Winery for their Wine Into Summer event Saturday and Sunday. Blue skies, great music by William Walter And Co. was just the right mood for an afternoon by the river or kicking back in the sun.

WIS-1-TS
William Walter And Company played late in the day.

WIS-5-TS
The weather made it a perfect afternoon to sit by the Rockfish River and enjoy a little vino!

WIS-8-TS
Inside, Valerie, was busy checking out people with wine for the afternoon.

WIS-14-TS
The tunes made it a perfect day to dance in the sun!

WIS-10-TS
It was also a great day to play a little ball!

The new farm market at a.m. Fog in Afton. Thanks to Chuck Strauss for the latest pic!

Not long ago I went back to Tennessee to visit my folks on the farm. You’ve heard me talk about my days back there as a kid. They were some mighty good ones, just like my grown up days here in the mountains. I was remembering this old man that lived across the road by the name of, Son Johnson. I’d always walk up to his house and remember those chickens running all over the place. He was farm raising eggs and meat long before it was trendy. Just good, down home, quality food.

Ken and Yvonne Harris at a.m. Fog on the Nelson-Albemarle County Line along Route 151 in Afton do the same thing.

My old friend Son is long gone these days. His house isn’t even there anymore, but Ken and Yvonne’s is. Right now they have spinach, kale, brocoli, cabbage and veggie start, 6 kinds of lettuce, 26 types of heirloom tomatoes, plus sweet peppers, and a big selection of HOT peppers! Heck for your Hawaiian flair how about pineapple, and back home…maybe a little watermelon!

And look what else they have: asparagus, lettuce, cucumbers, STRAWBERRIES, strawberry onions (the best!!!), roasting potatoes, Idaho potatoes, carrots, green peppers, farm eggs, meat, and fresh baked bread.

And yea, my buddy, the trusty:
-Local “Happy Steer” Hormone and Antibiotic Free Meat
-Local Hormone & Antibiotic Free Chicken

Not to mention the countless other vegetables, annual, and perennial plants along with fruit trees ready for planting.

The beautiful new farm market is OPEN FOR BUSINESS NOW, and just on the horizon, hot teas, coffee, muffins, and bread while you take a look around.

If you do the WWW thing you can visit them on the web at www.amfog.net If you don’t, they are the kind of folks who still answer the phone, now there’s a concept! Call ’em at 540-456-7100.

After a long stretch of really nice weather over the weekend, things will slowly change late tonight, but not after the best day of them all. Today will be sunny again with temps even warmer into the middle and upper 80’s.

As a cold front moves toward us over the next 36 hours, showers and thunderstorms will break out beginning in some areas after midnight. Wider spread thunderstorms will be likely on Tuesday into Tuesday evening before tapering off by afternoon Wednesday. After this system moves through, temps will cool to the lower 70’s for a couple of days before rebounding back into the 80’s by week’s end.

BREAKING : AMHERST / NELSON Line on Route 29 South : Traffic Being Diverted : UPDATED

Updated: 1:50 PM EDT:
Nelson County Sheriff, David Brooks, tells NCL that a tractor trailer loaded with paper has caught fire and is burning at that location. The incident is right at the Nelson-Amherst County Line on Route 29 Southbound.

NCL has received numerous calls over the past hour regarding a backup of traffic near the intersection of Route 151 and 29 South near the Nelson-Amherst County Line.

The backup is due to some type of truck fire which is blocking the road (we believe southbound) and traffic is being diverted.

Lots to talk about in this special Memorial Day weekend edition, so let’s head right off into it! First let’s remember what this whole holiday weekend is about. Yea, most of us get some extra time off to relax, but we get to do that because all over this nation and all over the globe, there are folks in the military helping to keep us safe. And there have been countless hundreds of thousands before them who gave their lives in military service for the USA. Call me hokey, call me old fashioned, I don’t care if folks think that, I love this country and I love Virginia. What a great place to live! I still can pass a flag waving in the air and think about what it means and what we all went through to get here. I still get chills to this day when the National Anthem plays. You see our American flag flying in the picture above, it always does, but even if you don’t fly one usually, think about doing it this Memorial Day.

This weekend is the unofficial start of summer for most folks, thought the real start to summer doesn’t come until later in June. With the holiday weekend underway there are lots of events taking place:

-Over at Wintergreen Winery they will have their Wine Into Summer event Saturday and Sunday with lots of great music and of course wine! Hang on to some Black Rock Chardonnay for me Jeff!

-Off to the east at Delfosse Winery & Vineyard they’ll be having a Memorial Day Weekend BBQ on Saturday May 24th complete with music by Jan Smith & Jeff Vogelgesang.

Upon the mountain at Wintergreen several things are happening:
-Starting with Blues and Brews at Wintergreen Resort. It starts Friday night and runs all the way through Memorial Day.
-Wintergreen Performing Arts will be holding their 2nd annual Festival of Wines on Saturday on the mountain in the Evans Center Tent.

-Down in Piney River they will be holding their Bluegrass Festival on Saturday the 24th. It includes lots of great music along with food and drinks!

These are just a few of the events taking place, but you can see even more of them by clicking here to the Nelson Tourism and Vistor’s Center. Be sure to click on the highlighted hyperlinks above to get all of the details on the events.


Also want to mention one other thing before we quickly hit the weather, the folks over at Devil’s Backbone Brewery continue to work like bees getting Nelson’s second microbrewery ready for opening in the fall of this year. You can read and see more by clicking here. If you’re out this week go check out the progress!

Weatherwise it won’t get much better than this weekend. Overall a nice holiday weekend.

Over the upcoming weekend right on into Memorial Day itself the weather is fantastic! We make it to around 80° by Sunday and easily into the lower and mid 80’s on Monday into Tuesday.

Rain is possible again by Tuesday night of next week, but the temps stay very mild.

As we’ve been telling you over the past several months, Nelson’s newest micro brewery is under construction and on track for opening later this year in the fall. This week was another key step in the construction phase as the huge custom beams were prepared and put in place at the brewery site at Route 664 & 151 on the way up to Wintergreen Resort.

We are having a minor issue with audio this morning, so we won’t ave that available again until Thursday’s cast which will be a big one, since that’s the forecast through the Memorial Weekend.

Wednesday for the most part was a nice one. A few isolated showers worked their way throught Nelson, but most locations remained dry.

Today marks the start of a much better weather pattern with partly sunny skies and warmer temps, though it will be the weekend before we start to have really warmer readings.

Thanks again to faithful reader and photographer, Ann Strober, for today’s weather photo above. With all of the recent rains we continue to get brilliant colors of Spring!

Yesterday actually ended up with some decent sunshine for part of the day before we went cloudy again by dark. We did manage to make it to the lower 70’s in some locations, but overall it was a chilly day on the whole. Most of the rains we got Tuesday came before daylight.

Today will be the last unsettled day for several to come. As this system pulls away we still can’t rule out some isolated showers this afternoon, but noting major. By tonight we’ll see any remaining showers die out , then can begin looking forward to a major change in the weather patterns for the foreseeable future. We’re talking dry and warmer for the holiday weekend.
