Full Moon to Fireworks ...
It’s a busy week, from the Full Strawberry Moon on
June 28, through Canada Day on July 1, and into the
hot and sultry Dog Days, commencing July 3. For
Independence Day, you’ve got the weekend for fire
works, feasts, and festivities. Think first of safety if you
plan to view Roman rockets, and be sure children are
well out of the way of sparks and trajectories. It’s esti
mated that over 10,000 fin
injuries are suffered every yt
and over 1,300 of them are e;
injuries. Let small children poi
blown-up paper bags or ridt
over plastic bubble-wrap on
their tricycles. Leave the firew
organizations and fire departments that have the training.
Fire [is] the silent language of the star,
