March in Massachusetts
"Our life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson By mid-March, the anticipation of spring in Massachusetts is almost palpable! It’s when we joyfully search for any early signs of spring: the sweet air at sugarhouses producing maple syrup, the colorful St. Patrick’s Day parade formations, the chatter of Red Sox Opening Day, and sunshine that lasts a bit longer at the end of each day. Get ready to march into this magical month, and enjoy the awakening of spring, all made possible by Massachusetts!
