On Friday night, my wife and I attended a very good performance of Romeo and Juliet at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton. Now we anxiously await the Civil War version to be performed by Wolfbane at the National Historical Park in June. It will be an interesting comparison and one that should draw visitors from near and far. If you have not yet become familiar with Wolfbane's performances, you should do so. If you have already enjoyed their efforts, no further prompting is necessary.
Note that the season's first APX 3rd Friday (May 19) is fast approaching. At the time of this writing, the weather forecast looks promising. Plan on joining us for a bite to eat, a refreshing beverage, fellowship with your neighbors and some entertaining music. Bring the kids or grandkids and make it a family event.
The combination of ample rain and intermittent warming have yards and gardens looking green and flush with growth. Insects have yet to become numerous, so it has been a pleasure to tend to these items. Early garden harvest has been tasty and everything looks promising for the upcoming summer. Now if I can just find a way to keep the squirrels from stealing all of my tomatoes.
