To the Editor:

On this bright spring day the sun shines like diamonds across the water, making you aware spring has arrived.

The air is fresh and warmer, the days are longer. The fish jump in and out of the water, and osprey have once again returned, hovering over the pond, waiting for the herring to emerge so they can feast on their harvest. It is time to go outside and prepare your garden in lure of finer weather. Have a wonderful summer.
