Midsummer's Day


First day of summer:) Always a magical day. Summer solstice. Makes me think of fairies and fireflies and daisy chains. The word solstice derives from the Latin sol sistere - "sun stand still"

In Halifax today, our start of summer is cloudy and close but the sun is valiantly trying to break through. Last night we had wonderful thunder storms rolling through, the sky flashing and flaring, rain muffling the deep rumbling booms~ Good reading weather. Enjoy this long day where ever you are.

I wouldn't mind some rain-we had a scorcher here! I need to listen to The Mummer's Dance in honor of the day...
