Summer is upon us! Children are out of school, backyard grills are heating up, swimming pools are filling up, vacations are being planned, and our biggest event of the year is in the books. I hope everyone has some time to settle in and enjoy some of the summer season relaxing with family and friends.

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and enjoyed time with family and friends celebrating your faith. Spring is bringing us a roller coaster of weather. Right now I am mowing my lawn twice a week just to keep up. But with these April rains, I look forward to the beauty that May will bring. The beauty of growth and rebirth, and the reminders of how wonderful spring can be.

We are only a few days into the month, and already we see the truth behind the Italian reference to a crazy March! We have had low temperatures of 12 degrees, a confirmed EF-0 tornado, and a forecasted day this week of over 80 degrees! Crazy seems an understatement.
