By Don Moffatt
Wasn’t this past weekend a
dandy? There was a continu­
ous roar of lawn mowers as
residents made an attempt to
get caught up on getting the
grass under contrzl. This was
the first real nice warm week­
end for a long time. The temp­
erature got into the low 80s on
Sunday. Monday is overcast,
but it still is a pretty nice day,
everything considered. Mon­
days are always lousy as far
as I am concerned, as it is
hard to get back into the sad­
dle after a day off.
