About Town with LaVern Johnson, May 3, 2012
Tuesday was May Day! A day when we used to put a May basket of flowers on a person’s doorstep, ring the bell, and run. Tim Kelling remembers me chasing him down when he was a kid of about nine years old, and I caught him! He said I was a fast runner! Those were the “Good Old Days.” Now, on May Day we enjoy the spring flowers and weather but no baskets that I am aware of.

Rain, rain, rain, we need rain. It seems to rain all around us, but not here. Last Thursday a lacrosse game in Windsor got rained out, and it rained in Longmont Friday night (quite hard), but no rain here. Although it has been a nice spring, we need rain!Login to read more: About Town with LaVern Johnson, April 26, 2012

THE TOWN ELECTIONThanks to all for your vote for me as a Town Trustee. I will do my best. In trying to analyze why I, LaVern M. Johnson, got elected when I was against medical marijuana (for the ban) and those for it (against the ban) were defeated, and from the talk about town on the confusing vote (you had to vote “yes” if you meant “no”) I have concluded that we may have been “hoodwinked.”

Another week gone by, and it was really nice to have the rain. The blossoms around the Lyons area are really beautiful - trees, jonquils, tulips, crocus, violets, lilacs, spirea, etc. Those pink and yellow blossoms really add to the beauty. Of course, we know those red crabapple blossoms will bring loads of little apples falling everywhere. Everything has its drawbacks. But let’s enjoy the blossoms now.

Ah, some rain and snow this morning to cut down on the wildfire danger and make the flowers bloom and grass grow. It is hard to believe the weather can change so fast, but that is Colorado! And just in time for Easter! Yes, it usually is snowy during the Easter Egg Hunt, but maybe it will clear up before then. Happy Easter, to all!
