Weathersfield News March 23, 2016
Another week of wacky weather. Has
this been the weirdest winter you've ever
lived through? I was all set to turn over the garden and BAM the
temperature drops again. I'm not sure what season we are in. Thank goodness
we're all hardy New Englanders and know to just roll with whatever Mother
Nature dishes out for us.
