OH HI, March. Where have you gone? The Spring equinox has come this past week and I feel as though new beginnings are on the horizon. Despite the neverending onslaught of horrific information regarding the current political climate both here and elsewhere, Spring has a way of giving people hope even in the dark days. I’m grateful we get one more hour of sunlight.
So anyways, if you’d like your event featured here, please email Lilamillermedia@gmail.com. At least it’s azalea season and these bright blooms are helping cheer up us bleary-eyed hermits ready to shake off winter and venture out into the world once again. See you in the park!
