HAPPY MONDAY! AND HAPPY SPRING !

We won’t have Spring here this week – weather wise it will be in the mid 30’s all week with a little snow sprinkled here and there. Our tulip , hyacinth and daffodil leaves are popping up out of the ground, but they won’t be blooming quite yet.

I talked with DS#1 yesterday and they had mid 50’s in central Ohio, so we know in a few weeks it’ll be here too!
