Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I can't believe that in just a few weeks, community pools around the city will be opening their doors. It's hard to imagine considering it's been so chilly lately, but before we know it, we'll be in the full swing of summer and wishing we were sitting at the pool cooling off! The pools around town are doing everything they can to ensure that people feel safe visiting this year. As COVID-19 cases continue to decline, many pools will be changing restrictions they have in place, so be sure to check their websites frequently when making plans.

I absolutely adore the idea of spending a weekend at camp, but with the whole family. This is the kind of mini-vacation my family would have been very into growing up. Who doesn't want to spend the weekend at camp, making crafts, horseback riding, and swimming in the lake? Sign. Me. Up.

Can you all tell I've got warm weather on the brain? I'm so ready to have an amazing summer and it's going to start with a free screening of The Wizard of Oz at Easton. I love that this summer series is free for everyone.

There will probably be a movie

made out of HB6 at some point, and yet it feels like it's been overshadowed by multiple things in Ohio in the last year. As the Dispatch sums it up:

"The Ohio case involves big money, a Fortune 500 company, top political leaders, 4.5 million electricity customers across the state and the suicide death of a defendant.

"Historically, I haven't seen anything like it," said FBI Supervisory Special Agent Matthew DeBlauw, who leads the public corruption squad in Columbus. "This case is in a league of its own."

With the exception of the recent rain, the skies have been nice lately. I haven't plugged this in a long time, but one of my favorite things on the entire internet is this
