Spring is here and I can already smell the bugs starting to wake up and getting ready to terrorize us all. Fresh air means we can finally (hopefully) shake off all these viruses and sicknesses and replace them with allergies…sigh. Spring also means that Farmer’s Markets will be out in full bloom! Who doesn’t love fresh air along with fresh fruits and veggies? You are also helping to support local farmers and business that are working hard to provide our families with locally sourced and organic products.
