Comrades,
Spring has sprung!! With spring comes warmer weather, flowers blooming and lots of yardwork. The beauty of the earth is all around us. Help take care of the environment any wayyou can. It takes all of us to make it happen. Be careful as you begin your outdoor work asyou don’t know what is hiding in the leaves or beneath what you reach for. If you are likeme and have allergies, you may need to keep an epi pen close by. It’s always better to besafe than sorry.
