Friday, June 21, I felt tricked, but not cheated...
June 21 is a disturbing day for me because after it being the time of longest daylight, the tide turns and shorter daylight sets in. 😕
However, I discovered on Friday that the summer solstice happened on Thursday, June 20 at 4:50PM EDT. I missed observing it. So I thought.
Turns out that is 1:50 PM PDT. I took the above picture at 11:15...well, I was a few hours early but really close in the eons of time.
FYI This was the earliest in over 200 years.
REFLECTIONS
It's been a busy first half of 2024! I have to keep checking my few thousand pictures to remember what happened and when! And "Where is Gram G?". I now need to remind myself to enjoy the summer months, the temperate temperature days, anyway.
I plan to "summer in the Couve", at least until late October. I remember last summer that having morning tea on the deck was quite relaxing. There are oodles of chores and projects that should be accomplished. I will evaluate in the fall how much was actually done! But, right now, "Bring on summer!"
(Apologies for the random white backgrounds. Digital technology has once again outsmarted me.)
This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.
"See! the winter has past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land." (Song of Solomon 2:11-12)
