(For those of us in SoHem), the Year is now waning, Summer Solstice having come. Good harvest to you!

Hurray for longer days! Although I'm still sitting here at 7:30 am and it's still too dark to read my keyboard... shake a leg there, sun!

We celebrated the solstice last night with a candlelight dinner and now look forward to lengthening days and the approach to a new gardening season . . . Happy Solstice everyone!

The sun is up, it's 5.23AM, today is the day to plant the last of all the long season things. Happy Winter Solstice all you northerners. Don't sacrifice too many wild boar.!!

It's no sacrifice being a wild bore.

Happy lengthening days!
Adamus: I must ask, if you live your life like a child running with scissors that must be both with fear free abandon, lack of interest in the wisdom of naggers but also like someone who has to get somewhere really quickly to cut something. I must know, where and what?

Ferdzy: I am in the middle of Minn. and the earliest sunset here is 4:32 P.M. with the latest sunrise 7:55 A.M.
One cannot find a chart of how many seconds per mile sunrise and sunset changes as on goes North so can you tell me what your extremes are?
Saddly, or oddly, usually not more than a month after I get totally used the longer or shorter days it switches.

Gosh, we were so busy celebrating the return of the light that we forgot to shout out.
Solstice! Hurray. I was near the winter solstice and my son was born on the summer solstice. And Leo was born near Samhain, the beginning of winter. So there's always a party here to be had.
I wish each and everyone of you a happy gardening season.
Welcome the light.

rpr, I suspect we are not that far off in terms of times. I think you are a little further north than we are. I'm afraid I'm somewhat vague about it.

Happy solstice to all, whichever one it be. Days are shortening here now. Soon time to sow the winter crops. Winter carrots...yummmmm!
