Country CousinIssue Date: March 25, 2020 Robins are Here!
Spring is here! Sneaked right in on Friday, March 20, along with a cold snap that sent night time temperatures down to about 19 degrees again, and daytime not much better. It's warmed up a bit since then, but we sure aren't enjoying cherry blossom weather yet.
