Spring in RVA

This is one of my favorite times of year!  Spring!!!  Spring in RVA (Richmond, VA)!  It is absolutely stunning and breath taking.  The only downside?  The yellow menace, as I call it.  The big oak trees start to leaf out and with that comes the yellow pollen they emit....yellow pollen that, if you insist upon leaving your windows open (like I do), will cover all furniture, surfaces, lungs...everything...in a yellow dust.  It is delightful (said with sincere sarcasm).  In fact, both Dave and I were felled by severe allergies the weekend of our JRS concert.  But...the yellow menace is worth it for how beautiful this season is.

So, I thought I would include some pictures of spring in RVA for your viewing pleasure.  And...a couple of Jeffery!  :)

He is a good little supervisor
