The longest day of the year is behind us, but summer is really just getting started. The harbors are filling up, the streets are bustling, and everyone is starting to adjust to their summer routines: sandy feet, a pail full of spider crabs, watching the sun set over the Lagoon, finding a moment of quiet in a field or a pond. Join Timothy Johnson for a look at the Island in the first week of summer.
