I hate to be repetitive, but it is another gorgeous day in New Hampshire. After a winter filled with below freezing temperatures and many feet of snow, it is wonderful to go outside, see the sun, and feel the warmth of a spring day.  I truly am appreciating the fact that I don’t have to wear a scarf and gloves.

As we appreciate the warmth and sunshine of April, it also is time to take notice of anniversaries and new hires at PeKu.

• Our columnist, Marnie Bii, marks her one year anniversary at PeKu this month.  She writes on a variety of topics, including fashion bargains, pet care, home shopping, and healthy eating, among other subjects. She truly is a writer with great capacity for research!
• Joan Jacobsen, our senior fitness expert, celebrates her second one year anniversary at PeKu. Joan had written for us for a little over a year during 2011 and 2012. She returned to us in April 2014 and has written monthly since then, inspiring our mature readers to add fitness to their schedules.
• Our first new hire is C. Finkbeiner, who writes on Feathers Fins and Fur and Your Parenting Info. She will be focusing on pet fostering, animal rescues, and parenting children with special needs. We look forward to reading her insights.
• Our second new hire is Lana Bandoim, whose first articles will publish next week. Lana will be writing about fashion and beauty bargains, romantic travel plans, and wedding planning. Whether you’re looking for information or inspiration on any of these topics, be sure to look for Lana’s articles.

Just like the emerging blooms outside my windows, we are seeing new growth here at PeKu. It looks like April is going to be a bright month!
