Spring

Happy 1st day of Spring. I'm not sure what spring might bring to mind for you, but for me spring means Easter, of course, and Earth Day, but also gardening, motorcycle rides, graduations, the dreaded spring cleaning and thoughts of fishing. I think that it has been more than a year since I have stood at the water's edge and wondered if I could entice some finned "monster" to bite my hook. Monster is in quotes because those who know me best (You can probably hear them snickering in the background) know that I catch mostly aquarium and near-aquarium sized fishes. So, while I sit here dreaming of earning Jeremy Wade's job, here is a look at the local event calendar.

Below I have listed some upcoming holidays and notable events, along with a calendar of local (Northern Virginia Piedmont) significance.
