“Just a little green, like the color when the spring is born,” wrote Joni Mitchell nearly fifty years ago. With ample rain, we’ve gone from that, to the full blown verdant countryside of May here by the river. Days are longer, the sun is warm, and the Shenandoah Valley is inviting!
This photo was taken in mid-April, and you can see the rain-swollen river looking west toward the Massanuttens. That little patch of sunshine on the mountain ridge (upper left in the photo) is just above where River Dell is located. This is a delightful time to visit. We’d love to have you!
