solstice

How do you celebrate the beginnning of summer when it barely feels like there has been a spring? Mind you, there have been hints...  flowers, rain (lots and lots and lots of it), robins and grass to be cut. Sure signs of spring in Vancouver. Just... not much sun. Almost always a bone of contention on the left coast. The forecast is for sun today. I'm not holding my breathe. The marine cloud is lurking, not quite ready to give up the good fight to hang on to spring.

I got a spring of sorts last week. Was sprung from a long hospitization. (count the days from my last blog, a little shorter than that) Never a good thing to stop a blog in mid blog, especially when one is a new blogger, so I've been told. Readers who don't know you well think... "well, so much for that blogger, she's dropped off the face of the map". I did kinda.



So, I plan on thinking a lot about the solstice today. 10: 16 a.m.,Wikipedia says. Transitions, longest day of the year trudging onward to December 21st. Garden is growing strawberries already (loving family responsible for the planting part.), find a labyrinth to walk, or make your own, hug your family and friends. Celebrate new, budding life... and your own. Spring. Sprung. Carpe diem.
