June 21 is official summer but it feels like we’re just getting into it now as blueberries fade, mushrooms pop and leaves look a little confused. Bluegills bask in the shallows watching you bask on the dock. Sounds like summer to me.

Walk a country road and you’ll see a bounty growing curbside. Strawberries and blueberries are ripe today with blackberries on the way. It’s a race against the chipmunks who will get there first!
