Aquebogue News: Annual Soup Supper event scheduled
Happy spring — almost!
The first day of spring is March 20, which is also Palm Sunday. I’m sure you can feel it in the air. I’m up very early (usually by 4 a.m.) and have been greeted with some bird songs. I also saw some robins in the yard over the past week so I’m hoping that means we’re done with the snow and spring is truly on the horizon.
