My Favorite Things through the Four Seasons: Summer
John W. Garbutt- Class of 2019- “On June 20th, about 20 minutes before the summer solstice, a long day of work was complete. As I was leaving and looking westward, a large bird flew over. It may have been the tiredness, but I was sure it was a Barn Owl chasing the last few minutes of spring as it flew toward good hunting grounds.”
