3. According to the Tougas Farm Facebook page, on Wednesday, "there are  blueberries for picking, as well as some beautiful blackberries and raspberries. Come early for the raspberries and blackberries as supplies are still somewhat limited. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with last entrance to the patches at 4 p.m.

4. Not only is it the first day of August, but according to brownielocks.com, it's also Spiderman Day, Respect for Parents Day and World Wide Web Day. An idea for celebrating all three: dress as Spiderman and post a tribute to your parents online.
