Weathersfield News June 22 #WeathersfieldVT #VT
Weathersfield, VT
I hope you all had time to notice
we past the summer solstice on Tuesday, and not to burst your bubbles but the
days will now be getting shorter. This year we got an additional celestial
treat with the Full Moon (the Strawberry Moon) on Monday-so I guess it's time
to start picking Strawberries! Wellwood Orchards is hosting an event Saturday
so you can pick buckets of strawberries and have a whole day of fun too (see
below.)
This was a crazy week for me. Summer stuff has kicked into high gear. Great weather is so short up here in the Great White North that we cram so much into our spring/summer months.
