Already centuries old by the time the Magna Carta was signed in mid-June,1215, the word “summer” hearkens back to Old English, Old Norse and Old Irish and is even akin to a word in Sanskrit. Such is the precious relationship we have with Mother Nature, particularly when she offers us an all-embracing season of warmth and new life! Come see for yourself on this early June weekend.
