Happy First Day of Summer!!!

It's summer!! Finally!!! Hooray for boating and sunshine and ice cream and picnics!!!


And hooray for fun summer flowers!
Some fun summer solstice facts:
  • Today the summer solstice will occur at exactly 1:16 EST time
  • Solstice comes from a combo of Latin words meaning "sun to stand still"
  • Various celebrations of different religions include dancing, food, bonfires, and honoring different gods and goddesses
  • Every year there is a celebration at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice; here's a link to last year's celebration: http://youtu.be/AtGqx11i0yM ( i know this isn't for everyone but I personally would love to attend one of these celebrations!!)
So one of my favorite things about summer is the food! 


This summer, I hope to be able to spend more time relaxing and partaking in some fun summer activities like boating and having a picnic. Although here in Minnesota it's not looking a whole lot like summer now, I can't wait to enjoy my second favorite season of the year!!
