Summer Time?

by Ashley Lind ~ April 13th, 2008

Was it just me or did summer stop by to say hello yesterday? Summertime coming to Thurston CountyWith temperatures in the 70’s it was a welcome respite to the rainy weather we’ve been facing lately. The smell of barbecues cooking and the sounds of sprinklers running were a few of the clues that summer is on its way. Although today we are back to mostly cloudy with a chance of showers summer doesn’t seem so far away anymore. Don’t you just love life here in Thurston County?
