It was a good day for a deal on Saturday at Johnson Park, where vendors were set up with used items, homemade crafts and art. You could even get a massage if you were up for it.

It was back to the wind and rain on Sunday morning, but once again, it turned out decent so folks were still out in their flower beds and staying busy. I hear we'll be basking in a couple of full days of sunshine by the time you read this, so let's hope the...
