 April E-letter 2010


Can you feel it in the air? Springtime is here! The grass is getting green and everywhere we look, buds and blooms are starting to peek out. Good thing we had all those spring showers last month!

Once the warm weather is here to stay, we love to throw open our windows and let in the fresh air. Something about the warm sunshine and just the slightest chill in the air inspires us for fresh starts. We're ready to spiff up our homes, try some new recipes and spend some time outdoors...how about you?
