Anelise Shrout digs up her front lawn as a light drizzle comes down Friday morning. In addition to flowers, she plans to plant strawberries and a variety of crops. “I’m fairly new to the area and found the hardest part of gardening is waiting for the warm weather to arrive, and the aging back.” Friday’s rain wasn’t expected to last long, and temperatures were forecast to reach the high 70s. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
