Merry Midsummer

20151209_192249

A merry belated Midsummer to everyone celebrating it. And a merry Yule to all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

I took yesterday off to mark the occasion and spent some time cooking myself pancakes and contemplating the looming spectre of 2016.

The weather here has been all over the place. We had 37 Celsius over the weekend (with a minimum of 20 in between). However, the last two days have been much cooler and grey, with some rain. My vegetable garden is lapping it up.

RAIN!

Oh, I wish there was a good, long rain here any time soon.

But no, we're pretty much in the middle of First Summer/Birak, and in 3-4 weeks we'll get started on High Summer/Bunuru.

Ugh!

I long for the cool/cold and wet/windy days of High Winter/Makuru already.

Glad you had a nice time - pancakes sound like a good idea :)
The weather here has been odd with very unseasonably warm temperatures for the UK!

Midsummer blessings to you as well! The weather has been unseasonably warm here in Vermont. Instead of our usually snow we've been getting rain. I'm glad we're getting precipitation of some kind since it'd been a dry autumn, but missed having snow on the ground for Yule. Glad to hear you were able to take some time off for celebration and reflection. :)

Happy Solstice!

The rain comes with free ice around here.

Also, that is a stunning photo and is making me happy to look at my reading page, so thank you for that.

Blessed Midsummer! :D Also that picture is so spot on for how the season feels to me. The grass stalks empty of grain and the land drying out.

The weather here has been all over the place but in a different way. We've had two days of 40, but Christmas itself will be 29, which is *very* unusual here. Usually in Perth, Christmas week is like...35-40 every day. Climate change is strange!
