Changes

Pennsylvania is making some more changes trying to protect bicyclists on our roads.  We will go into more details on Monday regarding the new law and how it will affect drivers and cyclists.  Hopefully this will help protect our cyclists who are more or less defenseless along our roadways.  The ban on texting while driving should help as well, allowing motorists more time to focus on the road.  We hope the cyclists continue to obey the traffic laws as well and continue to signal their turns and wear bright colored clothing to be more easily noticed to motorists as well as a helmet.  We should all be able to operate safely on our roadways!

First weekend of Spring

Hope everyone survived the first weekend of spring.  Friday was a beautiful day with much warmer than normal temperatures and just a wonderful day to get outside.  Saturday was pretty much a wash out with rain most of the day here in Gettysburg.  Sunday turned out to be a much better day than expected and actually got pretty nice out in the afternoon.  Peach blossoms were out in full force in Upper Adams County over the weekend with apple blossoms soon to follow.  The smell of fresh cut grass all through the air as a lot of yards were cut for the first time this year.  Spring is definitely here, but it looks like we may get back to more seasonal temperatures as the week goes on here.  Take time to enjoy all our surrounding area has to offer.  Check out a local greenhouse for all your spring flower needs.  www.taylorsgreenhouse.com offers some great products and a nice country drive to get there!

March 21, Another Gray Day

I was on vacation in Florida once and was asked where I was from.  I replied Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The gentleman replied "Ah, the gray state".  I wasn't sure what to think. amd he could tell by the puzzled look on my face I was confused.  He said "You have many more gray days than sunny days in a year there, especially compared to here".  How true his words were, and the past 2 days are just even more proof that he was right.  I haven't seen the sun yet today, and it didn't really make it's way out until late in the day yesterday.  Rumor has it we will have better weather tomorrow, but I will wait and see.  Big happenings in our little town last night as a presidential candidate stopped by and was greeted by a crowd mixed with supporters and protestors.  The event drew quite a crowd for a small town.  I'm sure that will be the hightlight of our week, but we shall see.

First Day of Spring

Well, the first day of spring was sort of a washout here in Gettysburg, but the weather seems to be improving closer to the end of the work day.  We are looking forward to a great spring.  Things are getting into full swing here in town, and the fun activities of spring are already upon us.  Gettysburg and Adams County will have blossoms of all sorts very shortly.  Peach blossoms should be along shortly, and Apple Blossoms will follow them.   What a beautiful time of year here.  We will be posting a few links to some local festivals and local greenhouses who help make our area even better during this great time of year.

Last day of winter

Hard to believe it is the final few hours of winter upon us.  For our area, it's been one of the most mild winters on record.  Spring planting season will be upon us in no time, baseball games will be here, and cookouts will be in full swing.  Please take a bit of time and reflect on winter, and make some spring preparations before the craziness of the season takes over.  Check and/or replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.  Many times they are your first line of defense against disasters, and if when working correctly can save lives.  Check your grill to make sure it is in good working order.  Make sure your gas lines are not dry rotting and that all connections are secure.  We hope everyone had a wonderful winter, and we look forward to a great spring season!

Brackets, Holidays, and Warmer Weather

March madness has arrived.  We hope you have all studied hard and come up with the perfect bracket, using a mix of upsets and favorites, and possibly even the battle tested flip of the coin or favorite color of uniform to make your selections!  It's a fun time of year.  The weather is getting better, it's daylight longer, and spring is right around the corner.  Along with all these good things and fun come a friendly reminder;  as you enjoy some fun watching basketball, celebrating St. Patrick's Day, or just get together for a picnic with friends, please celebrate responsibly and have a designated driver.  We would like all of you to be here safe and sound to celebrate more in the future.

Winter Weather

So much for winter weather.  It's been in the 70's the past few days and it looks like tomorrow will be more of the same.  Motorcycles are out and about as well as bicyclists and runners.  Please be careful on the roadways with the increased traffic and hazards that are out there.  We all want to enjoy the beautiful weather and we all take time to enjoy it in different ways.  We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable rest of winter.  Today marks the last Wednesday of winter, even though it hasn't felt like winter in quite some time here in Gettysburg, PA  anyway.

Have a great evening!

Spring

Welcome to spring, or at least it feels like it should be spring already!  Temperatures near 70 degrees today and heading over the 70 degree mark as the week goes on.  It's hard to believe spring is here already, but with the mild winter, it seemed to get here more quickly.  Know anyone with a lawn care or landscaping business?  Have them give us a call for an insurance quote, or have them check out our website at www.crsinsurance.com 

Congratulations to all our area wrestlers who were competing in the state championships this past weeked in Hershey.  Also, a thank you to those who participated in the Bubba Bash Volleyball Tournament.  This is a great fundraiser for the YWCA in our community.
