I was lunching at the local Kilmarnock Subway, today, and ran into one of the local residents, a 'born here'. He said. "I'm glad I ran into you. I said that I must thank Tom Teeples when I see him." This fellow has just discovered Hickory Hollow and has walked all the trails. He is in awe of the location and called it a jewel. Robert helps to run one of the local businesses and he is aware of the NN Audubon efforts to save Hickory Hollow. It just felt so good to hear him bubbling over in his enthusiasm. Then I went to the drugstore to get a birthday card. A lady (she looked familiar but I do not know her name) came up to me excitedly telling me that bluebirds are checking out her bluebird nesting box. Definitely, a wonderful day!!.............Tom -- Tom Teeples 132 Lancaster Dr. #105 Irvington, VA 22480 804-438-4243 It is OK to read in the daytime.
