March 2020

Signs of spring are in the air! Just the mention of the word can stir excitement. Tulips and daffodils peek from the ground, butterflies dance all around and the chatter of birds fill our hearts with joy. Some say Mother Nature is showing off with her magnificent display of flowers and fresh scents, but I for one, am grateful for her dazzling gift of spring.

Celebrate all this glorious season has to offer and march into spring. Stroll outside and visit resident Whitie Barrow’s courtyard garden where the fruits of his labor abound, or cross the bridge into WindsorMeade’s charming villas and let your heart sing of spring.

With warmest regards,

“Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” ~ Lewis Grizzard
