June Happenings

Well spring is almost completely sprung and summer is ushering in.  June is the one month that the weather in Buffalo seems just right.  75-degree days, evening Jeep rides with the t-tops off, mornings on the porch in the adirondack chairs… now that’s living.  Too bad we don’t get 365 days of this sort [...]
