Happy April!! The first two days have brought forty degree nights, Spring is here? The next week has highs in the 70s and lows mid forties for a couple nights and then 50 to 60 the rest of the week into next! Warm weather and late night rains are starting to breath life into the gardens and orchard. Enjoy :)
