Happy Solstice!

Midsummer Solstice - the longest day in the year - here in the Northern Hemisphere. If you live in the Southern, it's Midwinter, and your days are beginning to lengthen.

Either way: Happy Solstice to you!

ps: this picture is from last week; here's what today's actual dawn looked like... somewhere out there, the sun is inevitably rising:

Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ med

And springþ þe wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
Lhouþ after calue cu.
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel þu singes cuccu;

Ne swik þu nauer nu.

Pes:
Sing cuccu nu. Sing cuccu.
Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu nu!

Summer is a cumin seed,
Loudly sings the stew.
Summer is a cumin seed,
Lewdly sing boo hoo.
Summer is cumin seed,
Cumin thru the rye.
Summer is a cumin seed,
Please don't ask me why.
