As Solstice arrives, remember summer is only six months away.

1. This is a big deal for me...

Not only do I appreciate the celebration, I r e a l l y look forward to the longer strength of my ole pa, Mr. Sun.

2. Summer can wait for another 12 months.

I hate summer and summer heat.

3. The days start getting shorter 6 months from today?!

What a depressing thought.

4. Drink up!

5. Every year this day I celebrate the end of days getting shorter.

Today we had a highly unusual completely clear sky all day. Even now just one cloud low on the horizon.
Usually within an hour of sunset the sky is extremely cloudy most days of the year. Can't ever see much
of the stars.

I have SAD and so after weeks of no sun/all clouds now, I was soooo happy to see the sun, all day.

You know how you feel when you are incredibly hot and thirsty and you drink a tall cold glass of water?

That's the closest thing I can think of to my physical reaction with the sun hitting my retinas. AAAAHHHHHH.....

6. We haven't see sun for nearly two weeks.

There was one day when I went in to get a cup of coffee and it was gone by the time I got out.

7. Oh I see now you are only 160 miles away. I live in York

most unfortunately.

8. Summer can wait

I'd much prefer winter. I have a melting point of about 80 and go crazy from that point on.

9. The temp right now in Dallas is 64

So it's almost as if summer hasn't left yet, other than it's dark by 6pm
