Welcome to the Memorial Day Weekend - & summer!

Congratulations! You made it. We have survived another winter.

Despite some very chilly weather this morning, there is no doubt about it. We have made it to the unofficial start of summer - the Memorial Day Weekend.

It's my favorite weekend of the year, if only because it opens the door to another summer.

Mother Nature looks like she is ready to cooperate.

After a cool start this morning, we’ll warm into the 70s with lots of sunshine. It will be a tad on the cool side Saturday morning, then heat will gradually build through the weekend and by the holiday on Monday, it will actually feel like mid-summer.
