As I sit here typing my news “early” Monday morning, the sun is rising and it’s a “cool” 27 degrees with a frost.  But, it’s gonna be a nice day from reports I saw.  We had some crazy weather the past few days.  Saturday was rainy; Sunday was very windy and sunny.  The wind kept up all day long with gusts up to 35 mph.  I hear rain is on the way for a few days during the week.  It seems that Mother Nature does not want to cooperate.  I do see the bluebirds are back.  We’ve been watching one in our birdhouse for a couple days.  Someone mentioned that the humming birds are coming back earlier and have reports that they have been seen.  With this colder weather, they may turn around and wait for a while.  I see some are getting their gardens and flower beds tilled and ready for the up-coming nicer weather.  Hopefully it will get warm to finally start planting.  I hear the bear are making their way around town, so watch out for them.

FLASH —  Meet at the Pavilion on Sunday, the 4th, at 1 p.m. for a work bee inside and outside to get ready for the summer.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Questions…..call Jodi at 971-5002 or Kathy at 610-413-6439.

Birthday wishes to Kyler and Paige Burke, May 1st; JoAnn Day, 2nd; Ken Pochatko, 6th; and Ted Lowden, 7th.  Hope you all have a sunny day.

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 21st, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion, weather permitting.  Should be getting nice by then.

Dab some Vicks Vaporub on your ankles, wrists and neck for a bug repellent.  It’s about that time of year when the little buggers will start bothering.

Keep and eye on the Sully and Face Book.  I see there are many things coming up and you may be interested in something.  Greenhouses are opening for your plants and vegetables; places are offering a variety of good food and ice cream.   There are fund raisers and benefits also in the works.  Lots to see and do in Sullivan County.

That’s all for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  I’ll be here next time and thanks for reading.  Comments always welcome.
