If you look real close, you can see spring is trying to pop up. It's that time of year to clean up the yard and uncover some treasures. Cleanup days are upon us. The winter takes quite a toll on the roadsides and they need some attention. The more volunteers the better. Mother's Day is May 13. Reach out and tell your mom you love her and are thankful for all she has done. Enjoy the weekend. Be safe.
