This is the time of year when things in San Marcos start opening up. Hard to believe, but we’re already seeing bluebonnets in the Hill Country and if February was any indication, we’re looking at some pleasant warm weather this spring. On Saturday, people will commemorate Texas Independence Day. Roughhouse Brewing will host a Texas Independence Day fireworks show from 7 to 8 p.m. if you want to partake in the celebrations. Within my circle, we will gather to celebrate our best friend’s 50th birthday. Tomorrow, I will stop by Shop 1893 in the Price Center to pick up a few quirky gifts from local artists to take to the party. I’m also going to drop in to San Marcos’ brand new indie bookstore, The Green Heron, to pick up a nice quality hardback, because books make great gifts. Green Heron is located at 323 W. Hopkins St. right across from Zelicks. Their website is greenheronbookshop.square.site.
