Summer solstice and the sun rises so far to the north that I can't catch the moment it clears the mountains. Now it will begin its stately southerly progress till, come the Fall Equinox, it's smack dab in the center of our view.
In our current suspended state of semi-lockdown, one could almost believe the sun is standing still. I look at my empty calendar and feel something between unreality and relief. It's just as well that I have my days with Josie to lend a sense of purpose and structure to my life.
It would be easy to drift . . .

I didn't realize until this morning that it is Solstice. Some years I have made a point to catch the rising, but not this year.
This pic is from the past-- ths morning we were fogged in.
Happy Solstice to you! Old Sol has burned off the fog here and is making its summer heat return after our nice cool past week. Perhaps you might set some dates to celebrate just for the fun of it...thus putting something new on the calendar. For me it's full of Dr.'s appointments...not the thing to celebrate!
