Around the Valley 03.02.23

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a great week. My husband is in Michigan this week and temps have been mighty cold there. I keep seeing hints that we might not be done with winter, which is fine but I hope if snow is coming it comes quickly so the blooms have a chance to regrow after.

We want to give a shoutout to all the state participants/winners in track, basketball wrestling and many other sports these past few weeks, Congratulations!
