The temperatures are firmly in the double digits, so we're looking forward to Spring! For decades, the funeral home has been decorated with geraniums in the front of the building. However, one of us is REALLY not a fan of geraniums and would prefer sunpatiens. (I know it's difficult to believe that we would disagree on anything 😆)
