Summer Solstice

Merry Solstice, everyone! Today is the first day of Summer, the longest day of the year! I even named a Daughter after this day (no, NOT "Solstice!"). Although that would have been a too-cool name.

Guess what today means? It means after today, the days will start getting shorter and shorter. And when our temperature forecast is 111 degrees (like it is), shorter days with their cooler temperatures sound really, really good.

I'm always happy on this day. Not because I love the summertime, because I don't, I like autumn 'way better, but because it means autumn is coming up next. It could also be the result of so much sunlight on my pineal gland, I don't know.

I wanted to have a Solstice Celebration in my backyard, but can't because of all the junk back there from the new roof being put on the house. Next year, for sure!

But today is a good day! It's Summer Solstice! Woo-hoo!
