Despite the fact that I had a snow day last week and I woke up to flurries yesterday morning, spring started today! Until late June, the hours of daylight will increase a bit each day.

Spring is great time to entertain. People want to get out of their homes after a long winter and there are some wonderful events to celebrate!

Here are some opportunities for entertaining:

• On warm sunny days, a picnic is always lovely. Gather a few friends, a blanket, and pick up some pre-made food at a grocery store and head out to enjoy! Low stress and fun.
• Invite friends over for Easter brunch or Passover seder.
• Have a Mother's Day party.
• Spring is a great time for bridal showers and graduation parties (baby showers too if the babies cooperate!)
• Celebrate May Day .
• On a warm evening, fire up the grill or the fire pit for a small group of friends.
• Gather neighbors for a community clean-up or community garden planting followed by a potluck.
• Start planning a Memorial Day cookout to kick off the summer.
• Have a ladies' tea or a garden party.

What will you celebrate?
