Springtime in Seward

It’s a sure sign that spring has arrived in Seward when the street sweepers come out to clean up the gravel that has accumulated all winter along the roads and bike path. Friends return to town after their winter travels, and seasonal business owners find themselves suddenly up to their elbows in endless projects as the snow thaws. Jason and I are no exception!
