Help, I'm Growing Gills!

The rain continues and intensifies. The ground is saturated and even the geese have gone into hiding.
 
Met Alex, one of the park aides, today. He’s straight out of college, working at a temporary summer job and building his resume and references. He’s hardworking and nicely self-motivated. Alex commutes from Olympia each morning, which is a bit of a drive. Oh, and look out ladies, he’s also handsome and single, ... but in a relationship.
 
Because of the rain, it continues to be very slow around the park today, but I hear the weather is about to turn for the better. I’m a bit concerned about how busy we will be this weekend with the warmer, sunny weather and the kids fishing derby on Saturday. It could become very hectic around the park.
 
BTW, I should have done some research on fishing and the local trees and plants. Park visitors have asked me about both topics, but I had to admit my ignorance. However, Missy and Alex have been helpful. They’ve both provided me with info about the types of fish in Lake Sylvia. Next, I’ll research the trees.
