Monday evening there were some out-of-the-ordinary decorations in the Council Chambers at Lincoln City Hall. City Administrator Clay Johnson said the six potato barrels in the room represented a small number of the barrels that had been decorated by area school children. He said students from District 27, Zion Lutheran and Chester-East Lincoln had done the barrels in the room. The barrels will be taken to the Community Gardens throughout Lincoln where they will be used to collect rainwater.

LINCOLN - While it has been a mild spring with few extreme weather events or heavy rains, this National Weather Service precipitation map indicates that two to three inches rain fell across central Illinois in the past seven days, mostly on Friday. http://water.weather.gov/precip/   As seen in Kickapoo Creek Park mid-day on Sunday, though water had receded about eight inches, it still tickled the tops of banks.
