Clarksville, TN – Have you noticed, it’s almost summer? Spring sneaked up on us while we were still in heavy sweaters and earmuffs—and did I mention raincoats and umbrellas. Tennessee is getting warmer by the day and the nights have lost most of their chill.

Mini elephant ears are waving hello and butterflies are beginning to try their wet wrinkled wings before they try to fly.
