Jun. 21st, 2005 04:47 pmHappy Solstice, everyone!
Summer Solstice is always a strange day for me. I love summer, and so I love the beginning of summer, the long, hot days and muggy nghts, the fireflies, nightswimming, summer movies, ice cream, baby birds, string lights and lanterns, saltwater, the smell of chlorine and citronella and barbeque fuel, summer dresses and shorts... the whole thing, really.
But Solstice is the longest day. After today, the days get shorter. That depresses me, oddly. It almost makes it feel like summer is over before it starts.
I'm a strange bird. Happy Solstice, though!
