As we march through May into Summer it’s a good time to remember things like beach and water safety. Hurricane season starts June 1, so now is the time to check supplies and take advantage of tax free holidays in many states. Gear up for summer fun, vacations, back yard barbecques and lots of fun in the sun. So clean off the patio furniture as most of us spend more time out doors.
If you haven’t done so yet, maybe a garden is a great experience for the kids while out of school. Even just a small indoor herb garden, is great fun and tastes great too.
