On February 2, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, and last month’s weather has proved him right. With all the snow that we have received this year, it’s hard to believe that spring is just around the corner! The official first day of spring is March 20, 2021. Although the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, it’s important to keep yourself and others safe by maintaining social distance, wearing your mask, and avoiding large crowds. There are lots of covid safe activities for the spring, like going on a walk, flying a kite, planting a garden, making some art, and the list goes on! Get excited for sunshine, blooming flowers, and wearing short sleeves!
