Things slow down across the English-speaking Blogosphere during the summer months. Some regular readers seek their entertainment out of doors and away from computer screens, while others who tend to read blogs at work go on vacation - or are fired for misuse of company resources. In my case, a blissful week completely unplugged awaits on Monhegan Island in Maine beginning this Friday, so in the best tradition of network television, Walking the Berkshires will go into reruns. The following posts are selected to reward rereading and offer fresh discovery. Enjoy, or better yet grab your swimsuit and picnic basket and head outdoors. We will resume our regular blogcasts when I'm back from Down East.
