North of Charlottesville, there is a Tulip festival going on and if my yard is any indication of the beauty that is out there, it is sure to be not only fun but a wonderful photo opportunity for fun family pictures. You may as well stop at DuCard Vineyards, while you are up that way.

Also, just in time for spring, the Local Food Hub is sponsoring a Beginning Bee Keeping Workshop. You can learn what it takes to have your own bee colony and have your own supply of honey.

Finally, postponed from last week, the Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club is hosting the Spring Mountain Bike Festival, complete with trail building, guided rides and clinics along with free on-site bike tune-ups. This is free for all and is sure to be a good time. Get a massage after a good ride – it makes the good ride feel even better!

Finally – don’t forget that Sunday is April Fool’s Day. Plan your jokes and remember the day if anything out of the ordinary happens.

Then report back to us immediately! We love a good joke.
