It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that magical time of year here in the South, and everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s itching to get outside and enjoy it before the air gets to that pudding-like consistency we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all so familiar with.<br \/>\nWith this pleasant weather comes a month chock-full of things to do \u00e2\u20ac\u201c graduations, weddings, Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day and so on \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which will leave but a few quiet moments to relish the outdoors. But those who have spent more than a year in the area know that come June, things get mighty slow around here. Some might recall more than one summer evening when the town appeared deserted and it seemed all there was to do was sit quietly and relish.<br \/>\nSo put on those heels, straighten that tie, pop a bottle of champagne and tell your mother you love her. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a month to congratulate, celebrate and appreciate those we love.<br \/>\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve offered a couple of ways to celebrate in the coming pages, notably a hike to take with your mom, some rock shows to bring that recent graduate to and a squash casserole for your family gathering. Get busy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and enjoy.<br \/>\n<em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Susan Dickson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is fully upon us, and all throughout this little town and its environs are images once evoked by Thomas Wolfe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4349"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4363,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4349\/revisions\/4363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
