It’s here, Spring finally arrives this weekend and we couldn’t be happier! (Just don’t look at the forecast for Friday) As we start to enjoy longer days, we can begin to think about our gardens and backyard projects! We will of course need a break from all that planning, and the South Shore has plenty to offer to help you relax and enjoy this first weekend of Spring. Have a look and see what’s happening on the South Shore this weekend!
