Summer is now officially here!
As of 11:54 A.M. EST, this past Friday, the sun arrived at its
highest point in the northern hemisphere, which means we experienced the greatest
amount of daylight and least amount of darkness of any day of the year, not
counting the ever present dark, gloomy, rainy skies we’d been living under for the
last 6 months…or thereabouts
My lawn looks spectacular, however, including the bountiful
new crop of mushrooms within, so there’s that.
Yep, we can all start officially enjoying the summer, whole
hog, instead of the half hog unofficial enjoyment we’d only been permitted
between Memorial Day and now.
So go for it!
In any manner of hog you prefer.
And don’t dawdle because we only have a measly 3 months of
official summer left, and you know how that goes.
The LL Bean Fall catalogue is flooding your local post
office as we speak, and I’ve already started unpacking my Christmas lights.
It goes fast.
Which is why I don’t get as hung up on the comings and
goings of the seasons as much as I did when I was younger...ish.
