Happy Summer Solstice

"Summer, then, is something earthy, in no sense celestial, and the occasion we call the summer solstice is one of those astronomical incidents that have no effect whatever on the growth of a corn crop or a carrot in the kitchen garden....So a passing wave to the summer solstice while we go about our summer business, as we have been doing almost a month now."

"Summer has begun by the almanac, but the light is already leaning toward Fall." ~Hal Borland

"I suspect that summer weather may be always ushered in in a similar manner -- thundershower, rainbow, smooth water and warm night. A rainbow on the brow of summer." ~Henry David Thoreau


Happy belated summer solstice.
