This weekend ushers in the month of July, the advent of which comes almost as a surprise. July? Already? We're just past our cool spring, and we're not completely prepared for July. Give us another few weeks to get ready.

Well, time's up. The weekend served notice that summer is truly upon us, complete with glittering bright days on the beach and cool evening breezes for cookout comfort. Now the Vineyard season begins to assume its true character — the picnics and sunbathing, parades and concerts, leisurely strolls and crowded streets. Find the time to enjoy July, and celebrate it with the civility and fellowship that will make everyone's season a success.
