Improve Pastures in 2024
Improve Pastures in 2024
Our region is entering a time of year ideal for improving our pastures by frost-seeding clover. This is a long-established practice but after 2023’s very dry late summer and fall, many of our pastures have been grazed very closely and could use some help recovering in 2024. February is the ideal time to broadcast clover seed and realize an improvement in pasture yield and quality. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM

In Praise Of Rockbridge
Paisley Griffin is presenting an art show entitled “Icons of Beauty” – in praise of this area’s natural beauty - at Nelson Gallery this month. In her new show she has selected some of our most prominent, most distinctive subjects like House Mountain, the Cowpasture River and Hays Creek, and labeled them “icons of beauty.” Griffin studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design and with Gene Davis at the Corcoran Gallery School of Art in Washington, D.C. She had a successful career as a designer and editor in printing and publishing in the Washington area and moved to Lexington in the early 1990s. 02/06/2024 11:00 PM
