Today's riddle: Why did the weatherman's cheeks turn pink? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Neighborhood Bees Produce First Honey of the Season (connectionnewspapers.com) — A McLean backyard is buzzing as local resident Nevra Ledwon harvests the first honey of the season and invites neighbors to help scrape wax and spin honeycombs. Her two hives typically yield two batches a year, with honey sales to friends helping cover the surprisingly high costs of beekeeping while keeping the operation small, organic, and community-centered.
2. Average US long-term mortgage rate climbs to 6.51%, highest level in nearly nine months (ground.news) — McLean-based Freddie Mac reports the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has jumped to 6.51%, the highest level in nearly nine months, which could hit local buyers and sellers this spring. Turmoil in the bond market, tied partly to conflict with Iran, is pushing borrowing costs higher nationwide and may cool the housing market just as its busiest season begins.
3. Lookout Mountain teen to represent US in worldwide wheelchair tennis tournament (local3news.com) — A McLean teen, Spencer Davis, has earned a spot on the U.S. boys’ junior wheelchair tennis team heading to Belgium for the BNP Paribas World Team Cup: Junior Festival from May 27–31. He’ll compete alongside top junior players from around the world as Team USA tries to capture both the boys’ and girls’ trophies after last year’s runner-up finish.
4. Appeals court revives lawsuit against Platt's McLean Bible Church (wng.org) — A Virginia appeals court has revived a lawsuit involving McLean Bible Church, allowing former members to resume their challenge over how elder elections were conducted and how member voting status was determined. The case, centered on ballot procedures and access to church records, is part of broader tensions between some former congregants and church leadership over governance and denominational ties.
