We're ready for it: the green grass, yellow daffodils, singing birds and warmer temps. Bring on spring! Here's how our staff is looking forward to celebrating a new season.
Spring is synonymous with flowers. When I want to brighten up my surroundings, I get a bouquet of local fresh flowers from The Rustic Bunch. One of my most favorite gifts ever was a four-month floral share from The Rustic Bunch, compliments of my team. I loved it! — Robyn L. Jones, publisher
The first place I want to go enjoy the outdoors in Berks once the weather starts to warm up is Blue Marsh area for a hike around the lake. — Heather Pendergast-Baker, account executive
Spring, for me, means it’s time to start taking some of my reading outdoors. I love looking through the extensive book selection at Firefly Bookstore in Kutztown for my next find. — Nikki M. Murry, editor
If I had to sum up spring with a smell, it would be fresh flowers. Tulips, daffodils and gardenias are my favorites. — Vanessa Goffredo, art director
There’s nothing like sitting outside for a meal at Plein Air – a cool retreat right in downtown Reading – and enjoying the delicious food there. Every menu item is a winner. The drinks are delicious, too. — Elizabeth Beebe, account executive
Spring, for me, means it’s time to head out to yard sales, flea markets and farmers markets again. The Boscov’s Fairgrounds Farmers Market is my favorite for fresh produce that’s in season. — Sara Woodward, account executive
