Warren County Wanderings

"When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels." - Unknown

So, how 'bout that first full day of Spring? Looks like Ol' Man Winter is getting in last licks. Accordingly, instead of a Spring photo, we'll start this week's edition with another beautiful snowy scene by Cortney Torres. As the quote above implies, it's all about attitude! We urge you to look at this final (we hope!) storm of the season as one last opportunity to slow down and catch your breath. Spend the day curled up with Warren County Wanderings and plan your fun for the next few days. Be sure to see the Easter activities in the Plan Ahead section. Also, it's a perfect day to reiterate the fine print reminder that ends every edition of this newsletter; we'll move it right up front this week: Please be advised that we do our best to make sure the information in this message is accurate at the time it is sent. But things happen, plans change, weather can be fickle. You get the idea. Please click on the links provided to other websites to obtain further details and updates. Welcome to Spring, such as it is, and Happy Wanderings!
