Town Talk II
Today, Thursday March 20, is the first official day of spring but the weather continues to alternate between winter and spring. Cold in the early mornings and temps in the 70s later in the day. We missed the rain that was forecast in the area over the weekend. I haven’t put away my coats yet. Guess spring is coming though. The city is advertising for a swimming pool manager already. Applications are available at city hall. I’m sure they will be looking for lifeguards soon too. The folks that pray for rain this time of year better get started. We are dry and dusty here.
