Full Buck Moon
Last night you may have seen the full moon, aka the Full Buck Moon!
This moon was named after the buck deer that grow antlers during this time of year.
Go for a hike and look for deer. Set out a blanket with your children and drink cocoa under the moonlight. Have a bonfire with your family under the moon, roast marsh mellows and sing songs!

About July
July, the Seventh Month
(Credit: Farmer's Almanac)
Thursday is the first day of July. Julius Caesar named July after himself when he reworked the old Roman calendar. (Ironically, the change went into effect in 44 B.C., the year Caesar was assassinated.) See the origin of month names.Although Earth is at its farthest point from the Sun this month, the sunshine comes with enough power to make July the warmest month in most of the continent.
July is for sailboats and lemonade, thunderstorms and ripe peaches, haying and fireworks. Traditionalists eat eggs on St. Swithin’s Day (the 15th) and oysters on St. James’s Day (the 26th). The rest of us fire up our grills or head for the clam shack.

Midsummer Day
Today is Midsummer Day or in some circles...St John the Baptist Day!
Here is a blurb from the Farmer's Almanac
"Although Midsummer Day occurs near the beginning of summer, to the farmer it is the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvesting, and an occasion for celebration.
The English church considered it a “Quarter Day,” one of the four major divisions of the liturgical year.
After Midsummer Day, the days shorten. In Lithuanian tradition, the dew on Midsummer Day was said to make old people look younger. We say, it's worth a try!"
Through all the long midsummer day,
The meadow-sides are sweet with hay.
–John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)

Back to the Future II: Delorean Paper Craft
Recently on the radio they were talking about things that Back to the Future predicted for the year 2015. I found this article, 11 Predictions that Back to the Future Got Right which details those predictions. Makes you wonder whether the inventors got their ideas from the movie or if it is just coincidence?
Remember Marty McFly's super cool Delorean from Back to the Future Part II? Well if you want your very own look no further.

Also be sure to watch this Back to the Future II original movie trailer (wish the quality were better, but oh well). Enjoy!
