HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!

Earth's seasons.  Far left: summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere.

 What will be my midsummer night's dream?   What will be yours?

  1. ...I hope to dream something about peace and justice-- fairness and mercy all at once... something like that.

  2. The moment of solstice is 9:48 tonight, EDT, 8:48 in New Orleans. 94 and humid in NYC -- after several nights of light covers.

  3. margaret, that would be a lovely dream. I may adopt your dream as my own.

    Murdoch, thanks for the information on the exact time. The temp here is 87°F and humid (as it almost always is).

  4. Ahhhh. We have had our longest night in which to dream our mid-winter dreams... hopefully of peace and justice as margaret suggests! Temp here is about 43 F. We begin to look for spring bulbs!

  5. Marez, it was your longest night, and you're looking forward to spring. Chauvinists that we are, we tend to forget the difference in living in the down under part of the world.

  6. Interesting song...some how I expected something more, well Druid-like. ( Certainly not "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor!")

    I think I'll be be be praying for better music I think! LOL!

  10. JCF, you made my day.

    Counterlight, it's 90° in NYC already. I guess you're in for another hot one. Here it's only 74°.
