Pumpkins: More Than Just Fall Decor
When autumn rolls around, one of the most iconic symbols of the season is the humble pumpkin. From its bright orange color to its versatile uses, the pumpkin has become an important part of our fall traditions. Did you know this popular squash is botanically considered a fruit because it originates from a flower? I am sure I am not the only one who always thought it was a vegetable! Whichever you consider it to be, the pumpkin has a rich history that extends far beyond pumpkin pies and Halloween decorations.One of America’s oldest native crops, pumpkins have been cultivated for more than 6,000 years.

Welcome, summer!

The much-anticipated astronomical start of summer begins with the solstice on June 20. However, this is not the only exciting astronomical event in June. There will also be the full Strawberry Moon, which will brighten the night sky on June 11. Its nickname was coined by the Algonquin people, due to its appearance marking the beginning of wild strawberry harvesting season in the northeastern United States around this time. In fact, many of the names for full moons have Native American origins, such as the Harvest Moon in October and the Worm Moon in March.
