March 20th was the official start of spring this year, bringing with it warmer days, trees budding, plants in bloom. The mostly pleasant days of the season motivate us to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Additionally, our pets are ready to get out of the house to soak up the fresh air, (before the humidity and the temperature make that more challenging). Everything seems to thrive at this time of year as the cycle of new life begins again.
