We didn’t, but we certainly can appreciate how delicious [...]

Commuting into work today, Local Motion staff experienced some vastly different weather conditions. Maybe it was the recent string of sunny weather that lulled us into thinking Summer was officially here. Indeed, it is still April and this is Vermont, after all!
