You can feel things starting to pick up again around here. A few more people out, patios filling up, and something happening just about every weekend.
It’s that stretch of the year where the weather can’t quite make up its mind, but it doesn’t really matter. There’s enough going on to get you out anyway, whether it’s a walk through spring blooms, a neighborhood event, or something you didn’t plan on.
And once you start looking, there’s a bit of everything, flower festivals, egg hunts, markets, live performances, and plenty of low-key local events that make it easy to jump in.
