Mesilla Valley preparing for Spring

Wow, 80 degrees today and the trees and meadows are beginning to blossom. Usually this time of year we get some pretty good winds, but we have not had that so far. The farmers are making the most of the good weather and their fields are getting ready for the planting season.
