Equinox Drumming
"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away."
- Thalassa Cruso
Anyone else aching for spring to arrive? We've had some lovely teases from Mother Nature, but I'm very ready for the real deal. Let's drum in the April rains and the May flowers! Join us to celebrate the Vernal Equinox on Saturday, March 20th!
