Morning light comes early and darkness arrives late. The first full moon of June rises late in the month on June 29. Just above the tree line on the horizon, its light reflects a second time on the lake surface. The date of Strawberry Moon this year marks the beginning of my 80th year.
The Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago, and the United States of America will begin its 251st year this weekend. More and larger celebrations than most years add to the long daylight hours of activities packed into the summer season. So much to do as the fruit ripens and before the leaves fall.
Planning occurs, calendars fill, families gather, trips and events offer travel experiences. Surrounding all of that, some of the most special moments come from the surrounding routine and calming blanket of the usual backdrop of summer.
