Spring came early for us in the mid-Atlantic, hitting highs of 68 degrees on the first day of March. Quite a way to start the month! March is not just about the anticipating of the on coming warm weather. It’s also a time of taking off the layers, peeling off the weight of winter and seeing the light. The work that you’ve been developing all winter is starting to come to fruition and by golly does it feel good to feel the warmth of the sun on my cheeks!
