Bloom times at SML

one fact was obvious in mid-February, as Laker Magazine was nearing publication — spring is coming.

On much of Feb. 14 (happy belated Valentine’s Day, lakers), it was bright and warm outside. As sundown drew closer, clouds were gathering and the temperature was cooling. It’s all part of the dance that late winter does with early spring. The mind surveyed the past and wondered: Will there be any snow? Are more Arctic-style cold snaps in the future? Can the cold rains just please take a break for a few more weeks?

All along, though, an overriding thought soothed the soul — spring is coming.

Who has it better around these parts than Smith Mountain Lake residents, as the weather warms and the sun fills more of their days? The water will still be a bit nippy for swimming (polar plungers might find it balmy), but boating is a perennial pleasure that is never as fun as when it’s warm outside, before summer’s more oppressive heat. Fire pits can light shorelines while radiating away some of early spring’s nighttime chills. Day drinking at lakeside bars feels almost regenerative (don’t forget to have a designated driver, or boat pilot).

I won’t complain about where I am, right by the Roanoke River Greenway and well above flood level, with a dog ready to head that way at the sight of his harness. But you lakers have something special, and the weather was getting just right for it as we were putting this issue to bed. Maybe the most special thing you have going out that way is a stock of gorgeous homes with Smith Mountain Lake views in wide variety. We’re going to take a look at a bunch of them in this, Laker Magazine’s spring issue.

Rob Fisher, a home builder in Vienna, has what he called a “funky” house in Scruggs. He intended to spruce it up, then recognized that he could expand it instead and make it a retreat for his growing family of adult children, their spouses and children. Working with a lake area general contractor, Fisher has created a livable heirloom. Writer Reed Dillon and photographer Scott Yates visited and told the story.

The annual Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour wrapped another successful edition in early October 2022, and almost immediately, organizers set about making plans for the next one. Liz Harrison, the tour’s second-year executive director, spoke with us about how the process works (note: it requires a lot of people; and she’d like it if you considered helping), and the tour’s publicity chair, Jessica Byrd, shared photos of the October 2023 tour’s homes, all accessible via car or boat. Byrd shared a passel of design ideas with us, too, looks that visitors can take on as inspiration for their own homes, regardless of whether they are by the water.

More folks are making their homes at SML, Jason Dunovant reports, and he talked with local leaders to show us why that is happening. One result of that growth is that a popular restaurant, Mango’s Bar & Grill, has added winter hours to its schedule, and folks are showing up to the Bridgewater Plaza business in sufficient numbers to ensure that Mango’s will become a year-round spot.

Elsewhere in this issue, we have updated home and garden business listings, which we hope will help you on the path to making your abode as nice as you like for the season. Our calendar of events is refreshed, too, helpful as you venture outdoors with the warming temps.

Put it all together, and this month’s Laker reinforces a positive development — spring is coming.

Dropping a nchor

locals are finding themselves with an influx of new neighbors as the lake’s popularity — and population — soars.

smith Mountain Lake has seen surprising growth in the past three years. A global pandemic that some feared would be a deathknell for the community has turned out to be a boon that has ushered in a significant increase in not only tourism, but new full-time residents.

In March 2020 President Donald Trump declared COVID-19 a national emergency which ushered in a slew of shutdowns across the country. At Smith Mountain Lake, businesses preparing for the upcoming tourist season braced for the worst.

It was only a few weeks later that those fears turned into elation for area businesses as visitors flocked to Smith Mountain Lake for a socially distanced vacation that wasn’t an option at many of the other crowded tourist spots across the country. That year several local businesses reported their most profitable summers ever.

waterfront home sales at the lake hit an alltime high in 2020, only dipping recently due to a lack of availability.

As Smith Mountain Lake enters 2023 and COVID-19 fears finally begin to die down, the business community is still riding a wave of popularity and profitability. Some businesses are even seeing those profits creep into the normally quiet winter months with more full-time residents moving to the area.

Andy Bruns, executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce, said he sees more frequently that people coming into the Smith Mountain Lake Visitors Center have either recently moved or are thinking of moving to the area.

“We are not just a visitors center, we have become a relocation center,” Bruns said.

The chamber even created a brochure with helpful information for people who are considering moving to the area.

While there are no official borders around the Smith Mountain Lake community, four of the largest districts that encompass the lake in Bedford and Franklin counties have seen substantial growth in the past three years. Those districts are

20 smith mountain laker | MARCH/APRIL 202 3
Locals shorelines
AROU nd THE LAKE

the Union Hall and Gills Creek districts in Franklin County and Districts 1 and 2 in Bedford County.

According to GIS data from both counties, the four districts recorded 2,108 property transfers in 2019 before COVID-19 and the nationwide surge in home sales (the data in each district includes some sales for $0, which is often due to a sale between family members). In 2020, that number jumped to 2,416 property transfers.

In 2021, transfers increased significantly to 3,363 in the four districts before falling slightly last year to 2,893.

While some of the home sales are likely due to people moving within the four districts or people buying second homes, Bruns said the influx of new residents has become more and more noticeable.

“I don’t think there is any doubt that we have more full-time residents than we did two years ago,” Bruns said.

While home sales may have slowed slightly around the lake last year, it may not be due to waning interest. Tom Fansler, Realtor for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, said demand is still high, but there are now fewer homes available on the market.

Waterfront home sales at Smith Mountain Lake hit a 20-year peak in 2020 with 431 homes sold, according to a report provided by Fansler. That number dropped to 327 in 2021 and 232 in 2022.

“It wasn’t because the demand went down,” Fansler said of the reduction in home sales. “Demand is still there.”

Fansler said the number of homes for sale on the market has dropped significantly. As this article was written, only 23 lakefront homes are available for sale. Prior to 2020, the lake would have ten times that amount available, he said.

Factors such as increasing interest rates, which may have slowed some home buying elsewhere, don’t have as much of an impact in lake sales. Fansler said a majority of the people who purchase lakefront properties pay in cash with no need for a mortgage loan.

Fansler expects interest in Smith Mountain Lake to continue for the foreseeable future. He said people have finally found out how special it is.

According to Bruns, all it takes is one visit to Smith Mountain Lake. He said that traditionally, first time visitors will come to the lake and often become annual vacationers. Many of those annual vacationers eventually become full-time residents, he said.

“That’s been the model for Smith Mountain Lake for 55 years,” Bruns said.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Bruns said that model was supercharged with a major influx of new vacationers — many eager to move out of the larger cities into a quiet area.

Employees being able to work from home also helped in people deciding to move to the area. Bruns said recent upgrades to internet service around the lake helped some in deciding to move here and work from the lake.

Bruns has seen how the increase in year-round residents is helping many local businesses. The traditional model for lake businesses is busy summer months followed by winters with few customers.

While some lake businesses chose to close the doors or greatly reduce hours during the winter months, signs in recent years show that businesses may have the customer base to keep them going. Bruns said businesses may be reaching a point where it is more profitable to keep the doors open.

Mango’s Bar and Grill in Moneta is one business that decided to keep its doors open this winter. The restaurant traditionally closes after Thanksgiving and doesn’t reopen until March.

Jason Hodnett, general manager at Mango’s, said he saw about 10% growth in sales at the restaurant in 2020 and 2021. He said some of that increase was due to new residents to the area. It was a significant enough increase they decided to try staying open year-round.

Each month has gotten busier during the winter as more and more people learn they are open, Hodnett said. Live music has continued during the winter to bring in customers, and trivia nights help, too.

Being open during winter has helped to pay rent for the space during the winter as well as keep staff employed, but it hasn’t resulted in any significant profit, Hodnett said. Even so, he said it is successful enough to continue next winter as long as lake residents, both longtimers and new ones, continue to show their support.

Catching Cold

winter at SML. It’s cold, it’s peaceful and it’s a great time to catch striped bass, if you know their habits. Even as spring approaches, we could still be in for some cold, at least according to Punxsutawney Phil. Assuming the groundhog was correct, those stripers might still feel it below the waterline for a couple more weeks, so let’s talk about how to bring them to the surface. But first, no winter fishing article, even a late-winter one, would be complete without this admonition: “Please wear a life jacket!” When we dress for cold weather, we

In the sonar image above, yellow “clouds” of bait fish are fed upon by striped bass (represented by streaky arches) between 40 and 60 feet below the surface of the lake. In winter, bait fish head for those depths looking for water with a little more oxygen, and striped bass follow.

typically have heavy shoes and several layers of clothing. Between the shock of the water temperature and the weight of the wet clothing, a life jacket gives us the best opportunity to get out of the water safely so that we can fish another day.

Now, where do you locate these beautiful, nomadic fish this time of year? There are several helpful hints we will cover that will help you locate potential fishing areas. Once you have located these spots, we will address some basic fishing techniques that don’t require catching bait and using a full spread of fishing rods.

In the winter, striped bass tend to prefer deeper water. Why is that? Their forage base (blueback herring, alewives, gizzard shad and threadfin shad) resides where they can find a thermal refuge. In the winter, there is a layer of slightly warmer water that is well oxygenated. Using your electronics, you will typically find the bait holding in the main lake channel or main creek channels. The first photo in this column (at left) shows a great example of the “bait ribbon” and how striped bass relate to it.

The photo was taken during some main channel fishing. The depth is 100 feet, and the bait is holding between 40- and 60-feet deep. The cloud-like images on the sonar represent the baitfish. Striped bass are represented by the arches and the streaky arches within the bait “clouds.” This scenario shows several bass in “feeding mode” and several others in “cruising mode.” Catching fish that deep is a challenge, but it isn’t impossible.

The second photo (page 24) shows a slightly different scene. It appears the bass have broken up the school of bait and are actively feeding on individual baits. There isn’t a “bait cloud” in the picture but there is noticeable bait in that same 40–60-foot depth range.

 In the winter, striped bass tend to prefer deeper water. Why is that? Their forage base (blueback herring, alewives, gizzard shad and threadfin shad) resides where they can find a thermal refuge. In the winter, there is a layer of slightly warmer water that is well oxygenated. Using your electronics, you will typically find the bait holding in the main lake channel or main creek channels.

How do you catch fish that deep?

If you want to put bait down, you certainly can. Smith Mountain Lake has submerged trees, so you will need to pay careful attention to your electronics to ensure that you are avoiding them in the main channel.

Another way is by vertical jigging. It is a very simple set-up that requires minimal tackle. Starting with the rod and reel set-up, I use a 7-foot medium-heavy rod with a 7.2:1 baitcasting reel. The reel is spooled with braided line — 20# test or 30# test is sufficient. At the end of the braid is a fluorocarbon leader. The leader is 12# test or 15# test and 6-to-10 feet in length. In order to quickly descend to 50-feet deep, a Swamp Monkey ¾-ounce jig head is preferred. The bait used on the jig head mimics the striped bass forage.

Popular baits are Zoom flukes and Bass Assassin vapor shad. A split ring and barrel swivel are used to eliminate line twist while vertical jigging. The combinations are limitless. Be creative with your jig head color and your fluke color. You will be surprised what colors catch fish.

This simple set-up will allow you to present your bait at the exact depth the striper are feeding. The presentation is typically very subtle; using small twitches of your rod tip will make this bait dance just like the live bait that SML striped bass chase. This is a proven technique that most fishing guides use during the winter. Get out there and catch fish like the pros do!

Voles have made a winter feast of the writer’s spring flower beds. ESSAY

there was a time when I used to plead, “OMG, come on spring already!” Every year at this time, I would look to the sky and say, “Just pop up a few daffodils and tulips as lagniappe of a promise for warm weather.”

Once again, we are in our annual dilemma, with one foot in winter and the other in a sputtering spring onset. A vision is all I ask to reinforce my faith in Mother Nature. I have been diligent in getting her birds (well, actually the squirrels) fed through winter. In any case, the effort was put forth to keep some of our little creatures from starving. I have found that outsmarting foraging squirrels is beyond human capabilities. They are crafty little creatures. These tree rats with designer tails trick us into thinking they are cute, thus I feed them bird food. I digress …

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed my usual indicators of spring declining. Tulip bulbs, hundreds of them, planted in the fall, year after year for decades, have slowly become no-shows. Why, even my treasured iris plants, harvested in bundles years ago, have become disappointing at best! What the heck? It appears that I am a Gardner in name only.

According to such experts as the “Grumpy Gardener,” I have a full-blown case of voles. These furry little creatures have built in bulb and root detectors. They scurry around finding all of your carefully placed bulbs, then desecrate them. Oh, I have tried planting with hot pepper flakes and wrapping the bulbs in plastic net, to no avail. Many years ago, when my spring bulbs flourished, we had a vole patrol cat named ‘Kitty.’ I stood determined in my belief that you don’t name a cat that you are not going to keep. She stayed with us for twenty-three years. The voles likely celebrated her demise and soon came back to my garden of milk and honey.

Just a side note: Kitty was replaced with a delightful King Charles spaniel named Buddy. After his acquisition, we learned that Buddy’s champion pedigreed mom had a one-night stand with a ‘chiweenie’ (cross between a chow and a weenier dog). He can be described as, ‘a full dog long and half a dog tall’ with the perfect face of a King Charles spaniel. One would think that he was born low to the ground to terrorize voles and squirrels. As it turned out, he thinks his role is to chase deer. All twenty-five pounds of him. Quite possibly, he thinks he is saving my hostas and other

plants from the herds of deer in our neighborhood.

OK, so I’m not planning to plant spring bulbs or hosta plants ever again. Another cat is completely out of the question. No matter, this is the time to look up from the soil and make a change. Yes, look up. When the dogwoods, weeping cherry trees and forsythias begin to blossom, I know that warm weather will surely follow. Yes, I recall that spring arrives with an endless coating of pollen, wood-boring bees and mowing the lawn. Bring it on! They are “small potatoes” in the scheme of nature. We will soon be opening our doors to outdoor gatherings, visits from family and, most important, the grandkids!

Reflecting on the changing seasons of nature … and ourselves, I’m relieved that years-old (and timeconsuming) traditions can be adjusted in our favor. As it says in the ’60s song by the Byrds, “To everything turn, turn, turn; there is a season turn, turn, turn.” I’m just saying that my “season” now revolts when I am on my hands and knees in the soil. I’m finding there is no longer an easy way to get to the ground and virtually impossible to get back up with dignity. It’s a blessing, as the energy not expended on grueling yard work is now put to other creative things, like plein-air painting, fishing and deck gardening. My plea for warm weather is as strong as ever. Just as the sun (wherever it is hiding) comes up every morning, spring will arrive on time, with or without my discussions with Mother Nature.

LETTING THE LAKE IN

a big part of Rob Fisher’s renovation of his family’s lake house in s cruggs was to make the lake more of a focal point. “My goal was to bring the lake inside the house,” Fisher said, as evidenced by the expansive views in this ground floor living space. “The lake, not the house, is really the star of the show.”

H & g

Fisher, who is a licensed Class A builder and owner of Fisher Custom Homes, in Vienna, Virginia, originally had hired Aspire, a local residential construction renovation company, to replace the windows in the home last February. However, in the middle of that project, he had an epiphany.

Thinking about his now grown children, who had families of their own, Fisher knew they all loved being at the lake and had made many fond memories here.

He could expand and update the home so they would have a place to enjoy with their families.

Fisher’s relatively simple window replacement project morphed into a 2,700-square-foot expansion. Built in 1984, the modest home, situated on 1.2 acres with 425 feet of shoreline, was begging for an upgrade.

Clear-headed about the impending task, Fisher set out to transform what he called his “funky little house” into a place that his family could enjoy for years to come.

Fisher, based nearly five hours away in Northern Virginia, said he knew he couldn’t handle a project of that scale remotely. He hired Aspire to act as the general contractor, and while the enormity of this job was outside its scope, Aspire rose to the challenge.

Rob Fisher had originally planned to make small modifications to his Smith Mountain Lake home in the Scruggs community. But those minor changes turned into a major, eight-month renovation.

MORE SPACE FOR MEMORIES

Rob Fisher’s plan to replace the windows in his family’s “funky little house” turned into a 2,700-square-foot expansion. Fisher wanted to grow the space so the next generations of his family could return for years to come.

Guests are greeted by views of the lake seemingly everywhere in the Fisher home — even in the stairwell. The open-concept home features two living areas on both the main (above) and lower levels. a n awe-inspiring timber-framed staircase with open risers connects all three levels.

COOL COASTAL CONTRASTS

Dark blues mix with warm tans, browns and golds throughout the Fisher home to create a soothing atmosphere reminiscent of coastal vacation homes. A substantial dining room table is offset by light woven chairs, while brass lamps seem to float above a gallery wall behind a navy sofa.

The idea began to come to life when Aspire took Fisher’s paper drawing and transformed it into a 3D floor plan and workable CAD construction drawings.

The home’s design is what can be called a hybrid craftsman-style vacation home with ample communal space and lots of windows to allow the outdoors to come inside.

“My goal was to bring the lake inside the house,” Fisher explained. “The lake, not the house, is really the star of the show.”

And that’s exactly what visitors see as they enter the home, where expansive windows flanking the rear of the home to showcase sweeping lake views. Six of the home’s seven bedrooms also face the lake.

To accommodate his growing clan, Fisher doubled the number of bathrooms from the original two baths to four full baths and added two half-baths, all connected or conveniently located to the bedrooms. The open-concept home features two living areas on both the main and lower levels. An aweinspiring timber-framed staircase with open risers connects all three levels of the home.

One of Aspire’s biggest challenges with this renovation was ensuring the new exterior roof complemented the original structure’s existing roof pitch. Other challenges for the contractor were configuring the necessary engineered beams and constructing that incredible staircase.

On the main level, sliding glass doors open to a 46-foot-by-16-foot composite planked deck that overlooks the main channel. The property also includes docks for the necessary water toys and a sandy beach for the grandchildren.

Fisher’s company practices sustainable building, so he used some of the same features in his construction projects in his home’s renovation. That includes 2-foot-by-6-foot framing to accommodate more wall insulation, sprayed foam cell insulation in the floor system and around exterior openings to guard against air infiltration. Fisher also had premium, low-energy, argon gas-filled Anderson 400 series windows, along with two tankless gas water heaters and a five-zone electronic damper-controlled heating and cooling system to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

Building high-end custom homes is what Fisher has spent his life doing in Vienna, so he knew quality workmanship when he saw it. Aspire, the company he hired to be his general contractor, didn’t disappoint.

“I was tickled on how it came out,” Fisher said. “They did some things a little differently than how I would have done it, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It was just a different way to accomplish the same result.”

Knowing Fisher’s background, Bradley Peters of Aspire said his team was “a little self-conscious going into it. This kind of work was more in his

wheelhouse than ours.”

Aspire’s typical projects consist of deck construction, bathroom remodels and general renovation projects. The Fisher home was the biggest the company has taken on; however, Peters and his crew readily accepted the challenge.

In the end, Peters deemed the project “a super good experience.”

Now that it’s complete, Fisher’s newly updated and expanded home has become a place of solace and relaxation, where even more happy memories will be made and cherished.

Closed floor plans, painted ceilings and pet-friendly amenities are on the upswing for 2023

the Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour has side benefits for folks who visit: Once inside, they can see some of the best interior designs around, organizers said.

And you don’t have to be loaded with cash to get inspired and put some new ideas to work, said the tour’s executive director, Liz Harrison. During a January interview, she remembered a home from a few years ago, when she volunteered for one of the participating charities. The ranch-style house where she was volunteering was a smaller, more modest residence than a lot of the big-time tour dwellings.

“But in that house, I thought [it] was very cool … They had taken the carport and closed it and made it into a master bedroom, and kind of moved the front door and turned it into this cute little lake house … a summer lake house,” Harrison said. “It was not where they lived full-time. But they had the cutest furnishings. They had a bunk room downstairs where you could pile the kids in. It was just very well done. And the rooms were modestly sized. It was a typical rancher house. But it was great because it was like, you don’t have to live in a $1.4 million house to get great ideas about what you can do to maybe make your

house a little fresher or a little more.”

Visitors who are renovating, buying or building can huddle with interior designers such as Jessica Byrd, the home tour’s public relations chair, to build on the ideas they pick up on the tour, Harrison said. Other designers and remodelers, including Roanoke’s Wyndrose Boutique; F&S Building Innovations Inc. of Roanoke; Wirtz’s Comprehensive Home Design Inc.; and Rocky Mount’s Liberty Cabinets have been sponsors in past home tours.

“You can go on the tour and say, what’s trending? What’s up? What’s new? What’s cool?” Harrison said.

Byrd has a blog associated with her business, By Design Interiors, where she covers new trends and mentions a couple of things that she says might not be as popular as before.

“I try to steer away from saying what is ‘out’ so as not to offend anyone that may have just built a home or remodeled their existing home and happened to have used one of those ‘out’ trends,” Byrd wrote in an email exchange with Laker Magazine. “Besides, it’s their home and they are the ones using it and paying for it, so who am I to say what is out?”

DESIGN IS LOOKING UP

Looking for a new way to add visual variety to your home? c eilings are the ultimate blank canvas. a painted, tongue-and-groove ceiling such as this one in a lake area home provides contrast, warmth and elegance. The color is an example of another recent trend, the black accent.

H & g

at bydesigninteriorsofva.com/blog/ f/2023-design-trends) has earth tones, particularly browns and pinks, at No. 1. “Colors of the year are Sherwin Williams

SW 9081 Redend Point and Benjamin Moore 2008-30 Raspberry Blush proving that earth tones and pops of color are back!” she wrote on the blog. “Also deep blues and greens are great for accent walls, [and] throw pillows and accessories … add in a little color to a neutral background.”

Highlights from her list are:

• c losed floor plans’ comeback, providing more privacy and more wall space for art and furniture, while allowing for “individual specialty rooms.”

• Elevated modern farmhouse designs, which haven’t usurped the modern farmhouse style in lake and coastal communities but allow for more elegant elements including European/ Scandinavian characteristics — light floors, clean lines and a minimalist approach.

• Tongue-and-groove and/or painted ceilings, which add warmth and elegance, along with insulation and extra soundproofing for high ceilings.

• Pet-focused designs that include flooring, pet showers and built-in food and water dishes, along with designated crate and bed spaces. Byrd wrote: “our pets have become a major factor in

some of our decision making.”

Charity home tour fans must wait till Oct. 6-8 to see what’s inside those residences, but Byrd said that her company’s involvement plays a part in ensuring a variety of looks.

“It’s always interesting to see the homeowners’ different styles and what their main design elements are,” Byrd wrote in the email exchange. “For any homes that we have on the tour, we always help them in preparing so that we can present a final finished look for the visitors to see. We always aim to make sure that a home portrays the homeowner’s lifestyle and functions accordingly.”

Time to Take stock

s hake off winter’s chill by making plans for the warmer days ahead.

Take stock: To carefully think about something in order to make a decision about what to do next.

iT ’S HARD FOR ME TO LOVE THIS time of year, with its gray skies, chilly mornings, too-short days and football season ending. My first 30 years on this planet were spent in sunny Florida, where there was no need to adjust to an annual weatherinduced slowdown. My native state certainly has its shortcomings, but March and April are fabulous months to be a Floridian. All this said, I’ve come to recognize and even appreciate that there’s a silver lining to my seasonal Virginia malaise: introspection and planning reign supreme. This time of year does indeed present the ideal circumstances in which one can take stock.

My yard is currently under nature’s slumber spell. The landscape is pretty much nekkid, which allows me to see where I’ll need to focus my attention when the temperatures climb. I’ve begun planning for how I’ll plant the empty window boxes with fillers and spillers, and I wonder which colors I’ll

want to feature this coming spring and summer. I’ve made a mental note that the wax begonias performed beautifully last year, and I’ll want to showcase them again. In the sun garden I may need to rethink the lavender, dependent upon whether the fragrant spires survive our SML winter.

Standing in the yard in my heavy coat, I look back at the house and realize she won’t make it another year without a fresh paint job. She’s looking a bit tired and faded and the white trim is beginning to chip and crack. Now’s the time to get on the schedule of a good painter; I may already be too late as our lake painters are in high demand to help us stay ahead of the havoc the damp lake air plays on our house siding.

Inside my home I’ll also spend time this month dreaming and planning. That kitchen island needs to be updated and the tub in the guest bathroom needs to be replaced with a shower. I wonder if the painter knows a good carpenter, plumber, and tile guy?

This is also an excellent time to take stock of my personal health, since I’m arriving at my 60-year tune-up: time to

schedule eye exams and dental appointments and a mammogram. I’m overdue in seeing the dermatologist — a byproduct of that Florida upbringing I mentioned earlier.

Planning for this upcoming summer also makes me smile and lifts my spirits. The hubs and I will soon take out the calendar and start filling the dates with all the activities for summer 2023. There’s the new microbrewery in Rocky Mount to visit and the lineup at the Harvester to check out. Friends will join us from Texas, New York and Florida, and we need to purchase new rafts and ensure the bar is well stocked — we’re ready with some fun cocktail recipes we recently picked up in Mexico.

I almost forgot to mention one of the best qualities of the winter inertia: the beloved March nap. Make sure to include a little snoozing in your March plans.
