Masked assailants in Elsmere, Delaware's safest cities, Flower Show preview

Hey, folks. Welcome to a brand new, still wet-behind-the-ears work week.

Today is forecast to be a hot one. I admit this is sneaking up on me. Time to switch up a lot of bedding and other stuff and dig out the window units. Be sure to dust off your SPF and hydrate.

I do have gardening on my mind and got at least a little done on Sunday. If you are headed to the garden center, you might be considering plants that help pollinators: Want a sustainable pollinator garden for bees, butterflies, birds? Here's what to do. Have fun reimagining your garden.

We are deploying our considerable forces throughout Delaware in the weeks ahead to capture all the magic and romance and pageantry of prom season. This weekend we attended five proms. Look for galleries on DelawareOnline.com. We will update our prom guide as we go.

And now, more news …

Biden will have ice cream with a supporter in Rehoboth Beach. We have guesses where

"Donate now for a chance to meet the President and Dr. Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware!" it reads.

If you spend time on social media, chances are this ad has popped up in your feed.

Writes Ryan Cormier, “How far we have come since 1992 when ‘Wayne's World’ famously roasted the First State with the line, ‘Imagine being able to be magically whisked away to Delaware. Hi. I'm in ... Delaware.’ ‘’

But the ad isn’t just about a visit to the beach – it’s about one of Biden’s biggest passions – ice cream.

Read about the promotion and where the Bidens are most likely to take one ice cream loving supporter here.
