I don’t enjoy “Teaser Spring”. Spring means that it’s 60-70 degrees out and basically pretty much nicer weather. One may need a jacket in the morning but if doing chores or the afternoon sun shines, well then it’s short sleeves all the way. So for the past few weeks everyone’s been talking about Spring and […]
