Summer Solstice

Well Folks do you know what day is today?

It's the Summer Solstice, it's the offical first day of Summer, the longest Day time hours of the year.

And around here it's HOT! I mean it's so hot I have a box fan blowing on the floor (which moves the dust bunnies) so that our dog Beaucephus can lay in front of it belly up!

It's a hot day that if there were ciceda's they'd be humming.

It's a hot day, that you can smell dry grass, dust and heat.

It's a hot day where you are wishing for water on the rocks.

It's a hot day where sitting in the shade and just talking about nuttin' sounds like good idea.

It's a hot day where sleeping on a hammock in the shade is an even better idea.

It's a hot day where eating during the heat of the day is not a good idea.

It's a hot day where cold roast beef in the evening is just right, followed by ice cream (make mine chocolate)

It's a hot day that just laying down in a cold stream (if you can find one) sounds wonderful.

It's a hot day where even the sounds of running water sounds cool.

It's a hot day where just watching the squirrels in the trees and the birds in the sky outside is better than any T.V. program.

It's a hot day that makes a cold beer taste like ambrosia.

It's a hot day of a feel good kind that is like a religious experience.

And that's what makes it Summer.
