Focus on Spring
Mid-February in PA gets to be a time of transition. Snow, sleet and ice still cover the ground but intermittent bouts of higher temps and seeing the ground below provide the hope for spring to come. This weekend's Daytona 500 marks the start of the racing season, a true sign of the change of seasons. In another month...after [...]
