CELEBRATIONS


Spring is fully upon us, and all throughout this little town and its environs are images once evoked by Thomas Wolfe. The green canopy has returned, the moonlight is sifting and the nip in the night air is all but gone. It’s that magical time of year here in the South, and everyone’s itching to get outside and enjoy it before the air gets to that pudding-like consistency we’re all so familiar with.
With this pleasant weather comes a month chock-full of things to do – graduations, weddings, Mother’s Day and so on – which will leave but a few quiet moments to relish the outdoors. But those who have spent more than a year in the area know that come June, things get mighty slow around here. Some might recall more than one summer evening when the town appeared deserted and it seemed all there was to do was sit quietly and relish.
So put on those heels, straighten that tie, pop a bottle of champagne and tell your mother you love her. It’s a month to congratulate, celebrate and appreciate those we love.
We’ve offered a couple of ways to celebrate in the coming pages, notably a hike to take with your mom, some rock shows to bring that recent graduate to and a squash casserole for your family gathering. Get busy – and enjoy.
