Summer Solstice

My Viking ancestors made a huge holiday of the upcoming first day of summer. Hereabouts we enjoy the lengthening days from February until the 21st of June.
But I have to admit that I'm not cheering over the prospect of having the days grow shorter again.

Last night my son and I left Lake Superior in the twilight at 10 PM, Eastern time and it was still twilight. (A bit dangerous for spotting deer and moose on the roadsides,'tis true.) But we arrived home without mishap.

My point being that time goes so quickly that I treasure every daylight moment. Which is not to say that I am productive every daylight moment, trust me. But we have many gloomy dark months and I love these sunny long days.

I seem to have "lost" my picture adding capability. It was dead easy a couple days ago, and I've grown dumber with the passage of time. Humbling stuff, blogging!

Have a wonderful weekend!
