HOW MUCH MORE COLD WEATHER IS THERE???
| Believe it or not warmer weather is just around the corner. We have had several days of nice 70 degree weather, but it was inevitable that we get another cold snap before balmy weather sets in for good. Actually here on the mountain we will have 3 cold snaps before spring is officially over! There are three "winters" that we experience during springtime; dogwood winter, blackberry winter, and whippoorwill winter. |
![]() | DOGWOOD WINTER Dogwood winter sets in as soon as the Dogwood trees start to bloom out. Every year, no matter if 80 degrees temps are prevailing, as soon as the Dogwood starts to bloom there will be a brief cold snap, then temps warm up again. We are experiencing Dogwood winter now. |
BLACKBERRY WINTER Blackberry winter comes usually around the 1st or 2nd week in May. When the blackberry bushes start to bloom out, here again, we will have another cold snap. Be sure to cover all flowers and plants because sometimes a frost will develop from the cold nighttime temperatures. The cold snap will last a couple of days up to a week and then the temps will start to rise. | ![]() |
![]() | WHIPPOORWILL WINTER Last, but not least is Whippoorwill winter. This is the last cold snap that we will experience before the warm temps are here to stay. This usually comes last of May to the first of June. Not as cold as the other two "winters", but temps do cool off somewhat. |
Cumberland County Gearing Up for Its Annual Relay for Life Event

Where you're treated like family!
![]() | Spring is here and your house is on the market...make your house more appealing for people driving by. Sprucing up your yard can be inexpensive and simple way to attract buyers. Remember that the first thing that potential buyers see, is the real estate sign and the yard it is sitting in. |
Add some color, there are numerous annual plants that you can put around your existing landscaping to make it glow with color. Try throwing some reds, purples, pinks, yellows, and orange colors around. Then put a little mulch at their base. Viola, you have an attractive yard! |
![]() | Another idea is use evergreen shrubbery around your yard. These shrubs stay green all year round, so even in the winter months you still have the green peeking through the snow. |
| You don't have to spend a lot of money on this project. Just $50 - $100 can improve your chances of selling dramatically. Remember first impressions are one of the biggest motivators for buyer's to make an offer. If the outside looks bland or not well kept, then chances are the buyer's will not be interested in seeing the inside. |
Enjoy planting and designing your garden...it is a great stress reliever and the work is worth effort.
