Spring is in the air, and the colors are spectacular! The lilacs, rhodies, and irises have made every stroll along Main Street a sensory delight.

Their beauty is enhanced by the colorful flags and ribbons adorning many village homes and businesses in honor of Pride month.

Yup, 2,000 pounds of Halloween glory. Mom says we are more than halfway to October. This makes her very happy. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
