Hello springtime from the Watkinsman

Hello, Here it is Spring! Can you believe it after the long winter we have had?  The snow has melted, the ice is gone! The birds and bees are doing it; and are flying around building their nests. The crocus, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips,  & bulb plants are popping up out of the ground.  It is time to open our windows, air out the house.
