Next weekend is the unofficial start of the summer season - Memorial Day weekend.

It has been another long year of waiting to get together with friends and family again in a safe environment. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines are changing as more people get vaccinated.

Remember to keep yourself updated on the regulations and be safe.

Finally, there are some warmer days for us to enjoy. This is now the safe time to plant your gardens and annual flowers.

Gardening is becoming a very popular pastime again, especially in light of the recent pandemic. People are looking for fun hobbies and ways to save money on produce.

Also, if you reap an abundance of vegetables, you can always share with neighbors, family and friends.
