Is it August already? The days slip away as the sun sets a bit earlier each night. The shadows are longer and the Goldenrod brightens the field. I saw an orange limb on a Maple tree out back yesterday and it stopped me in mid-stride.
I feel I must wring the life from these last few weeks of sunshine and sand.
As the naturalist at Pemaquid Beach this summer I should have had my full share of sun and fun, but the summer always seems too short.
Tuesdays I set up a Touch Tank from 10 AM to Noon and children and adults watch and fondle sea stars and cucumbers, crabs and urchins. Encourage your children to hug a sea star, kiss a clam, and touch the Earth. Try it yourself. Life is short - so is summer - so enjoy!
