Spring Is Here (Almost): Get Out And Spruce Up
We’ve had such a mild winter that I actually got excited at the sight of our recent dusting of a little snow.
Now, don’t get me wrong — I’m so ready for spring.
This is the time when everyone starts thinking about their lawns and sprucing up their homes for the spring season.
To me, the best part of spring is the energy and excitement everyone walks around with.
As spring springs, our parks become filled with avid runners, some of which are training for the Louisville Triple Crown of Running, one of the great Kentucky Derby Festival events.
Why, even if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, I still say it’s the time for folks to begin re-emerging from indoor hibernation and start sprucing up their lawns.
This is my favorite time to get out of the winter mind set and gear up for Derby season.
