I don't know about you but I love April and not just because it's my birthday. But April means flowers start growing, the leaves begin to show on the trees and everything starts turning green and colorful. The birds start singing and the sun starts shining more. Spring has sprung!

Don't forget to keep on your toes on the first because it's April Fool's Day. We celebrate Easter on the weekend of the 7/8th and alot of us will be thinking about submitting our taxes.

Smile and shine like the sun.
