Rabbit, rabbit! 🐇🌷

Why do people say “rabbit rabbit” on the first day of the month?
It’s an old superstition said to bring good luck for the weeks ahead.
So on April 1, we’re starting the month with a little charm, a little springtime cheer, and a hopeful nod to brighter days on the farm.

Have you ever tried it?
Say “rabbit rabbit” first thing today and let’s see what April brings. 🌼☀️

The restored Burnsville Swinging Foot Bridge is more than just a crossing—it’s a living piece of our town’s heart. Built in 1903, it stretches gently across the Little Kanawha River in downtown Burnsville, West Virginia, carrying with it generations of stories, footsteps, and memories. Today, it stands beautifully renewed, inviting both neighbors and visitors to slow down, take a walk, and feel the history beneath their feet while soaking in the quiet beauty that surrounds it.

This beloved bridge was brought to life by brothers Samuel C. Wade, just 32, and James Albert Wade, 28. With determination and purpose, they built a 140-foot cable suspension bridge with a wooden walkway—simple in design, yet powerful in meaning. It was created for the people, especially the children who crossed it each day to get to school. Parents walked it too, often carrying lunches from home or heading into town along Main Street before school meals were ever provided.

In times of rising waters, when families on one side of the river were cut off from town, this bridge became more than a convenience—it became a lifeline. It connected neighbors, supported families, and helped hold the community together when it mattered most.

There was a time when this bridge was nearly lost. Plans were made to dismantle it, and its story could have ended there. But the people of Burnsville weren’t ready to let go. With pride and love for their town, they came together to restore it—saving not just a structure, but a piece of their shared history.

Today, the bridge still serves its purpose, guiding footsteps from one side of town to the other. Visitors are drawn to its gentle sway and old-time charm, often smiling—sometimes nervously—as they make their way across for the first time. And by the time they reach the other side, something shifts… fear fades, replaced by appreciation for the beauty, the history, and the quiet strength of this bridge.

So take that walk.
Let it move beneath you.
Because once you do, you’ll understand—it’s not just a bridge.
It’s Burnsville. 🧡
