Hello, Washington County! 🎉
One of my favorite things about winter is taking a break from yard work. So, I was bummed this weekend to already find myself lugging around bags of dirt and figuring out how to ration space in my green bin. I’ll be hoping for more rainy days, not just because we need them, but also because I’m not ready for the Spring outdoor work to start yet!
Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.
