Blue Ridge Country January/February 2023 - 55

Regional Notes
Virginia is home to over 275 LOVE Works
signs, and it also boasts the world's only
Love Butt. This 1600-pound cheeky piece
of art was left in Charlottesville after being
used for a cable comedy show pilot. The
heart tattoo on its left side is the perfect
spot for a Valentine's Day selfie. 2GG9+F3
Charlottesville, Virginia
Weather Notes
I miss hating the summer heat.
Snow days turn moms into daydrinkers
one lost mitten at a time.
A plow left to overwinter in a field
invites evil doings.

Garden Notes
Go outside and take a look at the
structure of your yard in the winter. Are
there garden accents that add interest to
the bare plot? If not, scavenge your garage
and outbuildings for wagons, bicycles,
old tables, chairs or anything with an
interesting shape. Tuck your find into a
space with some smaller accents like pots
full of evergreen cuttings and enjoy.
