Love this time of year…savoring the end of winter (fingers crossed) and seeing the first signs of spring (there are daffodils in my front yard). Not too cold, not too hot. Valentine’s Day behind us, and St. Patty’s and Easter just around the corner. So much to do around town this time of year, too. Festivals are beginning and consignment sales in are high gear. Hope you’ll find our list of what to do with family helpful this week.
