TRADITION: Joe Cucuzza let us know that he found the May flowers.
He, his wife and their canine companion were out hunting for leeks in the Lewis Run area Sunday and happened upon the flowers. He did say they were on the lookout for them, as this is the time of year to find the flowers growing.
Cacuzza noted the flower discovery is a bit later than usual, but he attributed that to the recent snow we experienced.
