Summertime Rolls!

Spring was short and it rained a lot! Summer is in full swing and it's getting real hot! Please help do your part in cleaning up any sites you visit. With the increase in local tourism brings more land use and the need for more stewardship. Carrying a garbage bag with you on a hike is always helpful!

Swimming is probably on every ones mind right now and with the rejuvenating effect cool water has it also attracts lots of people and has an impact in the water quality and in the land use. Tread lightly and enjoy your space!

The parking lots at the Mohonk Preserve get filled early. Particularly the West Trapps and Coxing Kill Parking. If you want to get in you need to be there before 9 am.

If the parking lots are full you can try Minnewaska Sate Park Preserve. It costs $10 to park as many as you can fit in a vehicle and NOT $15/person like the Mohonk Preserve charges. Please do NOT park on the sides of the roads. This creates a hazard for pedestrians, neighbors and emergency vehicles.

Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!

He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...

Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...

Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...

She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...

She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...

There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls
