Trees are starting to bud with new leaves, early flowers are poking up through the dirt, and it’s finally warm enough to venture outside without 8 layers. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of trad Celtic music celebrating the arrival of Spring. Yes, we know Spring started back in March, but now we actually get to enjoy it.
