Our weather was pretty decent last week.  Friday and Saturday were super nice with higher temperatures, sunny and warm.  I see the robins had come back, after going somewhere warmer when we had the colder days.  We did have some rain on Sunday but not what was predicted.  On this date, the 20th, Mr. Neubauer’s little blue book tells me it was sunny and cold and only 16 degrees.  We did much better than that.  Sunday was the first day of Spring, so hope that’s a good sign.  Saw a huge flock of red wing blackbirds in the yards over the weekend.   Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend.

If you want something to do this weekend, Saturday, the 26th and Sunday, the 27th, take a ride to the Wysox Volunteer Fire Company and see what the 52nd annual Che-Hanna Gem and Mineral Show is all about.  Times are 9-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.  There will be educational displays, geode cutting, cabachon making, mini mine for the kids.  UVBOB will also be doing fluorescent mineral programs both days.  Dealers will be selling all kinds of minerals, fossils and a little bit of everything.  Something for everyone.   Hope to see you there.

St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month.  They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.  To order, call 570-928-8909.

With the nicer weather, maybe we’ll see more folks out and about.  Time to think of the gardens,  flower beds and lawn mowing soon.  I don’t think we’ll have to be wearing winter coats at that time.   Sure hope we don’t get any more frosts or cold and snow.

Civic meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 20th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building. 

Formula 409 is not only a cleaning agent.  If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can’t find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409.  Insects drop to the ground instantly.

I see there was mention of trout season coming up, so keep an eye on the Sully to find these dates.  There also may be other things you might be interested in.  With the better weather, there will start to be more things going on in the County.

Happy Birthday to Aaron Kinsey, 21st; Irene (Kravitz) Risser, 28th; Heather McDonald and Trevor Kinsey, 30th.  Have a good day.

When you go to the Lopez  Post Office to get your mail, wish our Post Mistress, Alissa, a very Happy Birthday.  Hope you had a good day.  Hers was on the 21st.

Guess that’s the news.  Enjoy your week.  It has to get better and better.  Have news call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  Do this by 6 p.m. on Sunday evening.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG….OR HAS IT…?
