'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Lake Wobegon saw a good snowfall last night after a heat wave gave residents spring fever and had them planting their gardens, which you shouldn't do before baseball season. They were itching to get started as gardening is a competitive sport in this town. Gardening is a way for people who are new to town become full citizens. / After a warm spell, a quiet snowy week surprised the town of Lake Wobegon. People were out planting their gardens even though they knew better. The seedlings were already started in the house and the soil was tilled, so the temptation was just too strong, and they planted. Now they are waiting to see if their seeds die in the cold. It has been an odd winter, with warm spells appearing way back in January. This final snow of the season seemed to be necessary to set things right.
