Buds are just waiting to pop open as soon as a warm breeze swings up from the south. In another four to six weeks, there will be blossoms of dogwood, forsythia, quince, redbud, Yoshina cherry, pear, plum and azalea.

Old Buildings Lost to Progress
What is progress?Some define it as tearing down the old to make way for the new.
Here, on a wall at Selma's Old Depot Museum, are photographs of antebellum and Victorian homes and buildings that have been lost to progress. While fire claimed a few of them, others were lost to the inability to afford the cost of upkeep or the desire to build something modern. Eventually, Selmians realized their losses could have been gains for historic value and tourism. Today, various preservation groups work tirelessly to preserve their rich heritage.
