Happy Spring! It feels hard to believe that we have officially left Winter behind... maybe it is because of the impending snowy nor'easter? We are absolutely ready to pack up our winter layers and embrace some Spring weather. The South Shore comes alive in the warmer months. The cherry blossom trees at World's End are an absolute favorite. We are also itching to check out the new Mass Audubon Tidmarsh Property in Plymouth. In the meantime, let's continue to embrace our last snowy days. I'm sure we'll think of them fondly during the first July heatwave. Nature Memberships!

Summer is here! In the blink of an eye, we have Summer! In our last newsletter we were venting about the lack of Spring weather ... and all the rain.
