Spring has Sprung – Yum
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 by JmThis time of year (especially in Buffalo) calls for celebration. It’s time to drink to the flowers, the budding trees, the dog walking, the rollerblading, and the people watching. It sunny, warm, breezy and the perfect weather for spring cocktails on the porch.
