Morel Time

March 20, 2025 by Jim Brewer

I had never eaten a morel until my old friend Carl Oakes asked if I wanted a few. Not wanting to offend, I said, “Sure”, but I had no idea what they were or what to do with the strange looking spores. Later I found out that morels, wild mushrooms, were mountain delicacies and highly desirable. On several occasions since then, I have taken to the hills and picked them myself. Morels, though, … [Read more...]

A Little Help?

February 6, 2025 by Jim Brewer

Just like the song goes, “I get by with a little help from my friends”. I could use a little help from my friends. I’d love to increase the readership of my CvilleBuzz, and maybe you folks can help. If everyone who enjoys my weekly ramblings on food, birds, Boomer memories, gardens and other foolishness would send out suggestions to their friends, maybe more people would sign up. It’s really … [Read more...]

A November World Series?

October 30, 2024 by Jim Brewer

This year, the World Series is likely to extend into November, but for sure through October 30.  It’s almost Halloween and that’s scary. Baseball should be over in early October, but money rules, especially with TV advertising. But who’s watching? The games don’t start until 9 and they often run through midnight. Even most bars close then. I love the Dodgers, but I’ll watch a few innings … [Read more...]

Corn Maze is Open

October 10, 2024 by Jim Brewer

Kent and Evie Woods have opened their Liberty Mills Farm in Somerset to all those who might want to wander through a corn maze. This year’s 34-acre maze theme is “Into the Deep”. There are three different mazes – easy, middle, and you-might-not-ever-get-out. Pick your poison. To go with a wonderful fall outing is a Farmer’s Market, a Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch and lots of goodies including … [Read more...]

Free Kid’s Fishing Day

September 19, 2024 by Jim Brewer

Hey, if you know where you can find some kids, I know a place to take them fishing. Lake Orange is having a Youth Fishing Day this Saturday from noon till 4 pm, enough time for them to get wet and muddy and maybe even catch a fish or two. Crappie and bluegills are near the shore now and a meal worm or a bit of earthworm on a small hook will trigger a bite. A chunk of chicken liver will entice a … [Read more...]

Reagan: See it!

September 5, 2024 by Jim Brewer

Nancy and I don’t often go to movies. That’s because they don’t make movies I would like to see. One movie, however, came out last week that I wanted to see. Reagan - basically, a biography of Ronald Reagan, our 40th president. The liberal Hollywood critics panned the movie. They vigorously oppose any film with a hint of religion or patriotism, but the movie they despised grossed $10 million for … [Read more...]

It’s Scottsville for Big Catfish

March 28, 2024 by Jim Brewer

For years, Scottsville has been receiving lots of attention from fishermen, most particularly smallmouth bass fishermen. But another species has popped up on the Scottsville fishing radar screen. Catfish. Big catfish. In years past, serious catfish anglers in Virginia –assuming they didn’t travel down to Santee Cooper in South Carolina – have been prowling the waters of such … [Read more...]

Get Ready for Shad

March 14, 2024 by Jim Brewer

  By Gerald Almy   When redbuds bloom on hillsides and winter loosens its icy grip on the land, Virginia anglers face a rich dilemma. Which species shall I try for? Bass are feeding in the shallows, crappie are schooling near flooded brush piles, and trout streams beckon with the first hatches of spring. But for many fishermen, the list of spring fishing adventures is topped … [Read more...]

Pentatonix: A Must-See Christmas Concert

November 30, 2023 by Jim Brewer

Pentatonix is coming to Charlottesville on December 9 at JPJ, and I believe some tickets remain. If you ever go, this is the one concert to see. We saw the acapella group last summer in Northern Virginia, but this is their Christmas concert – their specialty. I didn’t know this about Pentatonix, but the group is very religious. They pray together before each performance and their faith … [Read more...]

Pentatonix Coming to Cville

August 31, 2023 by Jim Brewer

I wrote about the Pentatonix a few weeks back after we attended their concert in Northern Virginia. But now, they are coming to Charlottesville on Dec. 9. We bought tickets again and we are assuming they will do their full repertoire of Christmas Music. Twill be the season, you know. If you are a fan of great music, I suggest you contact JPJ as soon as possible and join us for some great music … [Read more...]
