Summer’s coming despite snow



BY Jennifer Henley

I think there is a little confusion to the way the saying is supposed to go. April showers bring May flowers, not April snow brings May showers which will then bring June flowers.

Heard the halibut have been tagged and are now ready to be caught. Which means here comes summer. I think we all, OK, most of us, are looking forward to summer. Instead of school buses, we will be traveling with and following boat trailers. I think my co-workers have heard that same ol’ story many mornings, you know the one where you come in late and complaining because you got behind that school bus. I have told that one a time or two or three. It’s amazing what another five minutes can do for you in the mornings. The time is upon us where our patience will be tested with tourist traffic. Everyone, be safe out there. Hope you have a great week.
