The cool spring weather, while not appreciated by most of us, seemed to be very beneficial to the spring bulbs and the flowering shrubs and trees. I can’t remember when the lilacs and other shrubs were so full of flowers and lasted for such a long time. Other plants did not fare so well when the temperatures dropped into the 40’s and even high 30’s. Growth was held up and some leaves appeared damaged. With the recent rain, humidity and warmer temperatures, especially at night, plant growth is exploding. The weeds, of course, are multiplying too.

Collections mean things to people. I’m no psychologist but I suppose they represent order for folks; some way of making sense of disparate items by lumping them together in a tidy package. My neighbor has some Hummel’s for instance. Walk into my mother’s home and a person will find boxes of Precious Moments. People will collect just about anything and everything from matchbooks to classic cars.

The West Fargo School District needed a 60 percent majority to pass the June 9th bond referendum. Although the bond referendum failed, it only needed an additional nine percent to pass, with Yes votes comprising 51 percent, and No votes at 49 percent. A total of 4,538 votes were cast, with 2,329 Yes votes and 2,209 No votes. If there had been a bigger voter turnout would the bond have passed? It’s hard to say.

Former Packer phenom turned Bison football star Tyler Roehl is far from giving up on his NFL dream, especially now that he’s already lived part of it.
No matter what happens in the injured fullback’s future, he can always say he was the first West Fargo High player ever to be a professional football player and that he was part of an NFL team.

It is so hard to believe that the 4th of July is already fast approaching this weekend. Many people consider this holiday the benchmark for the halfway point of summer.

Because the window often seems so small between the last bit of snow melting and the first hint of fall each August, open water fishing has a special place in my heart, and in those of most anglers. The freedom of drifting about on an open lake, or lazily floating down a river is a feeling unlike any other. The warmth of the summer sun, the humid air hinting at an evening thunderstorm and the tug of a fish on the line buoys my spirits year round.
