SNOW!

 Hard to believe we had snow flurries last night that disappointed everyone.  This morning the county was beautiful with the wet snow sticking to everything.

NEW POLICE TRUCK

 As so many towns and areas are doing,  the Conservancy recently purchased a new police "truck."  The truck has numerous advantages over the normal SUVs.  The truck has room in back for equipment like chain saws and other normal equipment we need/use in our country area.

REDBUDS

 The recent warm weather and plenty of rain this past weekend made the Redbuds pop!  They are beautiful.

CICADA ARE COMING!

 I was digging and planting in the yard this week and dug up a live Cicada only about 4 inches deep.  News reports that the Cicada  (17 year locusts) are coming this season.  

LOONS AT THE LAKE

 Several loons have been spotted on both lakes in the past few days.  Too bad that they don't stay longer.

SHORT SHELF LIFE!

 The beautiful blooming Magnolia trees took a hit last night with 20 degree freezing temperatures.  The blooming season was sweet but short!
