"June 23rd, is St. John’s Eve, or as it's known in many parts of Ireland, Bonfire Night. It was traditionally marked by the construction of large fires throughout the countryside. These were lit at sundown & were the focal point of communal festivities. People gathered to dance & sing, while young men proved their bravery by leaping through the flames.
The night was also rich in folklore, much of it concerned with fertility. Prayers & rhymes were recited to ensure a plentiful harvest. Indeed, the fire itself was thought to have magical powers. Burning weeds in its flames would prevent arable fields from becoming overgrown, while scattering its ashes would guarantee the land’s fertility. Similarly parading through the fields with lighted branches from the bonfire would protect the crops from disease & pestilence. It was also deemed particularly lucky to bring the ashes home to light the kitchen hearth.
Although most of these customs are no longer practised, lighting St. John’s bonfires still takes places in many parts of Ireland (especially the west). It's hardly a coincidence that these fires are lit so close to the Summer Solstice & it suggests that the custom may have ancient roots."

Found by Pine River Park....Cow parsnip (Heracleum sphondylium subsp. montanum) is a plant species named after the legend of Hercules. It grows along riverbanks & in wet areas inside shady forests. Some people find the sap irritating to the skin. Cow parsnip is also similar in appearance to other, more poisonous plants, Aka Poison Hemlock (which is why I decided to investigate) so caution should be exercised around it. For reference the last picture I added is Poison Hemlock. Hemlock has leaves that look like a carrots leaves.
