Spring Into the Weekend - March 19th, 2021

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, but it already feels like spring is here. I love going into neighborhoods and seeing the flowering trees and the bright green leaf buds. The weather this weekend looks like it will be quite nice - I'm looking forward to some long walks at Arbor Hills and perhaps a meal out on a restaurant patio with Corky.

As we head into the weekend, here are some fun local happenings, some great recipes, and my usual market insights!

Hope that you have a great weekend!
