Happy Spring! Spring arrived on March 19th this year. Why? Because 2024 is a Leap Year. Let’s immerse ourselves in nature’s splendor. What an awesome time of year! Here are a few signs of springtime –

• The birds are singing

• Dormant plants begin to grow again
• New seedlings sprout out of the ground
• Hibernating animals awaken
