| Pool Furniture |
05-07-2018 |
Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1:00, Bob D., Don Coffey, and Eddie Mo are going to get the pool furniture out of storage (from the Ford's house). Feel free to join in! Unfortunately, I will be subbing at HHS and won't be able to help. We could use some hands to wipe down the chairs, tables, and chaise lounges. Bring a rag and some cleaner! Thanks.

| Pool Delay Again |
05-07-2018 |
The water to the pool area was turned back on Friday. Valley Pools came on Saturday morning to begin the process of setting up the pool. However - the pool motor was no longer working and has to be replaced. A new motor has been ordered and Valley Pools hopes to return midweek to install it. In the meantime, the pool is filling with water (this usually takes a couple of days). Hopefully the pool will be ready by the end of the week! I will send out an email to let the neighborhood know when it is ready!

| Mitchells are moving |
05-07-2018 |
Since we're now spending time in Arizona, we're trying to maximize our family time while in Virginia. So we've found a location mid way between all our daughters and are building a house at Lake Frederick (close to Winchester). It's a bittersweet decision since we've LOVED living in Heritage Estates. Before we list the house (later this week), we wanted to put the word out in case any of you know someone that might be interested in buying our house. We're going to list the house at $549,000.

| First Friday |
05-04-2018 |
If anyone is going downtown tonight to First Friday please consider stopping by a bake sale being held at Asbury United Methodist Church. It is being run by 2 young brothers who are trying to raise money for travel and medical expenses for their friend Colton. Colton is a 6 year old first grader who was diagnosed with a very rare form of leukemia in January. He has been at Duke awaiting a bone marrow transplant but that has been put on hold as he is no longer in remission. They are returning today to start more chemo at UVA to hopefully put him back in remission. Colton was in my kindergarten class last year and is a wonderful, sweet little boy who is handling all of this like a trooper-as are his parents and siblings. Thanks!

| Pool opening has been delayed |
05-03-2018 |
I just wanted to update folks on the opening of the pool. At our last HOA Committee meeting we instructed Terry Weaver to have our contract with Valley Pools to read opening May 1 and closing October 1. He indicated that he would do so. This was written in our last minutes. This should have meant that Valley Pools would come the last week of April to uncover and fill the pool. When they didn't show, I just thought it was because of the rainy weather. When they did not come at the beginning of this week, I did a little investigating. The water has not yet been turned back on at the pool. And - Mr. Weaver did not change the original wording of the contract that Valley Pools first sent out, which read opening May 11 and closing September 7. So, since it is now May 3, I am assuming it will be sometime next week. This has been very disappointing as this week would have been great pool weather. As soon as we get the pool ready, we will ask for help to get our deck furniture out of storage from the Ford's house.
In a few days, I will be sending out a reminder of our pool rules.

| Gazebo Night Lighting |

We’ve noticed that for the last 3 nights the lights are out at the gazebo. Also our mailbox light, which is wired through the gazebo, is out. Can this be remedied?

Offers breakfast, salads, sandwiches, subs and wraps plus sides of fries, onion rings, slaw and potato salad. They will also cater. The burgers are never frozen. I’ve heard good comments about the burgers, freshly made chicken salad, BLTs, and steak & cheese. Reasonable pricing.

| Ladies Wine Tasting Excursion |
04-23-2018 |
Hi HE ladies,
Plans are in the making for a wine tasting trip to a couple of vineyards.
I can reserve the limo for Thursday, June 14th. The plan would be to leave from our gazebo at 11:00 am, visit 3-4 vineyards, have lunch and be home by 7. The cost of the limo is $550 (+tip) and can hold 13 people. So the more the merrier (and cheaper).
Some vineyards do not take large groups, so once I know our numbers, I will make reservations at the vineyards. Tastings can cost anywhere from $5 - 15 each and you don’t have to taste if you don’t want.
Please let me know within the next few days if you are interested in joining in the fun. I will need to make a down payment on the limo to save it.
Once I have a firm number commitment, I will let you know the cost and send out an itinerary. Tentatively looking at Pippin Hill, Albemarle Cider Works and Pollock - maybe one more.
I look forward to hearing from you all.

| The Birds and the Bees ... and a Thing Called Love! |
04-17-2018 |
Mid-April means it’s time for migrating birds and butterflies to pass through our neighborhood, so feeders with black oil sunflower seeds should be out already. I keep a notecard listing our family’s first sighting of hummingbirds each year and it averages around April 19. Usually, these “early birds” continue their migration and move on but sometimes they stay. Last year, hummingbirds did not return to our neighborhood until July! What the heck was going on?
Our backyard berm needs a dose of love and attention, so I began thinking about the best, most diversified use of that small bit of land. I realized that in trying to create a low maintenance, drought resistant yard, it was really an animal and insect desert. Nothing inviting or life sustaining for them! When Ed and I moved here ten years ago, this area was a wide open natural field with grasses, trees and shrubs – as well as birds, butterflies, lightning bugs and deer galore! As our homes replaced that environment, the critters had to move out. How could I create a small win-win remedy to this situation for Ed and me as well as for those original residents?
After much research, I’ve created a list of plants for our Zone 7 garden with a purpose. I’d like to share with you if you’re interested in following suit. My criteria include all of the following: full-sun, friendly to butterflies (especially Monarchs and Swallowtails who struggle with diminishing habitats), bees and birds (especially hummingbirds, also a struggling species for the same reason), deer and drought resistant. Of course, at the height of summer heat, some watering will be necessary; Master Gardener Andre Viette recommends one long slow deep watering rather than a light spray that quickly dries out.
So, here’s my list:
Coneflowers – Purple or Tomato Soup varieties
Bee Balm – Balmy Pink, Leading Lady, Pardon My … varieties
Zinnias
Asters – Purple Dome, Pink Mist
Butterfly Weed, Joe Pye, and Milkweed Milkweed is not attractive but life-sustaining for Monarchs.
Catmint, also called Nepeta
Salvia, Bleeding Hearts, and Russian Sage
Phlox
Lobelia, also called Cardinal Flower
Wishing you a lovely vibrant spring and summer!

| Announcements not received & Monticelli's |
03-21-2018 |
My email address is not receiving post but Eva's appears to receive response email to announcements. My email is through comcast (Xfinity) and hers is gmail. I wonder if that has something to do with it?!? Our service for Wi-Fi (Comcast) continuously drops and comes back up...
We wish the Monticelli's well in their new journey!

| Announcements Not Received by All |
03-21-2018 |
Lately, not all neighbors are receiving posts from this website. Neither Ed nor I received emails today about snow removal. I emailed Scott Rogers to look into it so hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
Also, Steve and Donna Monticelli are moving out tomorrow (Wednesday). They will continue to reside in Hburg until her job ends in June. They've been wonderful neighbors and I wish them well!
