This is a great time of year in my community. My wife and I have the job of going through the neighborhood and selecting the winners of the Hillandale Home and Garden Awards-which we do three times a year. We are assisted by some able judges who are all long term residents of Hillandale. We find it fun to do as the neighborhood is full of azaleas and flowering trees. Everything just looks beautiful this time of year. Old Hillandale is the show piece and is well worth a drive through but the rest of the neighborhood looks lovely as well. There is a lot of pride of ownership in Hillandale and spring brings out the best.
