What a glorious time of year! Spring is here and the sunny days are abundant. This is when I spend my free time preparing my garden and taking long walks with my family. Like Terri Ercole suggests in this issue’s “Mindfulness moments” article (page 20), I take in my surroundings with every sense. I taste the fresh herbs that are sprouting, smell the flowers that are blooming, listen to the birds sing, watch the clouds drift across the sky, and feel the freshly turned earth in my hands.
In this issue we celebrate the season with a detailed listing of area summer camps and activities for children and teens. We also have crafts, book suggestions, summer safety tips, and much more. Happy spring!
