Spring thunderstorms rumbled through Southwestern Virginia Wednesday, dumping lots of rain, rattling windows and lighting up the sky.

According to the National Weather Service, more storms are on the way and should soak the area again on Friday.

Does this mean Spring Fever has arrived at the Thompson houshold? Damn right. Amy is talking about things she wants to plant. We’re looking for the right spot for a new gazebo and thinking about putting in a pond on the lower part of the yard.

Time to get out the lawn tractor, load up the spreader and start seeding the lawn. The war on moleholes and crabgrass is about to begin. Gentlemen, start your John Deeres.
