Midsummer’s Eve
Have you prepared your bonfire for the Midsummer’s Eve celebration? Me neither, but we plan to grill hamburgers tonight.
Well, then did you gather auspicious herbs? No, I didn't do that either, but I did prune the rosemaries and sages this morning. I have no St. John's Wort in the garden either - I managed to kill one of those long ago and never tried again.
While I'm always happy to regard the winter solstice as the midpoint of the winter, summer seems too short as it is. For summer, I like to think of the solstice as the beginning of the season. Besides, we really haven't had all that much hot weather yet, and my daylilies are just now starting to bloom.....

Something has happened to my stylesheet formatting. No idea what. Will look at it later after the Midsummer celebration.
