Mixed blessings

The wind has abated somewhat, not gone all together but it’s bearable. And we have very cloudy skies with a forecast that includes some rain and that’s always a good thing. I’m not sure that the friends and relatives of the university graduates will see the rain as a blessing, but having experienced the opposite during the ceremonies; blazing sunshine, I’ll take a gentle mist for graduation anytime.

Although we have no family graduates this year, the graduation affects us along with everyone in this area. Traffic increases and restaurants are filled to overflowing. Even on the Planet Orland; traffic becomes an issue as so many cars are coming off of the interstate here and then taking highway 32 into Chico. Hard to make left turns here in town!

And then, in another week, Chico is returned to its year-round citizens for the summer and you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through downtown. Ah! Summertime, I love it!
