Happy Summer Solstice!
Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats summer. The other seasons can’t offer anything that rivals all of summer’s glory. Berries, long endless days, warmth, patios, barbecues, ice cream, picnics, lounging in the grass, all of it is spectacular. Don’t bother trying to extol the virtues of crisp autumn days, sweaters and skiing. Not interested.
Despite my love of summer I’m not a fan of summer solstice as it marks the beginning of the days getting shorter. I prefer being on the upswing, knowing that every day is getting longer.
For today, however, despite the tiniest whisper of dread, I will wear my summer dress and embrace the glorious sun.
