I’d say we hate to be sappy in our posts but that simply would not be true! Tap dancing into Spring!
Fevered Friday! We are thankful we got so much outdoor work done in the beautiful sunshine before the snow hit! We have been busy composting hoop houses, tons of greenhouse seeding. Spring is Springing!
