The skies are blue. The trees are green. The grass is plush. Birds are singing. Flowers are blooming.
Summer is in the air in Illinois.
As we celebrate the coming of summer, the National Safety Council reminds us of precautions that should be taken to ensure a safe summer. If there's a storm with lightning, avoid metal objects, large trees and open areas. If swimming, get out of the water. Never swim alone. Don't dive into water if you don't know its depth.
