It's the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! After a few weeks of chilly Norway summer (as my Mom affectionately calls it) I'm once again ready for summer's heat. Not to mention the flowers.
While discovering all these treasures in the garden I also discovered how addicting it can be snapping pictures of such a beautiful place.

Tonight we will celebrate the longest day of the year by spending a late evening outdoors, feasting, talking, laughing, and maybe even a little swim.

Happy first day of Summer!
Beautiful! Your pictures do the garden justice. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that the 21st was the solstice. Guess I shoulda read your post earlier. ;) Beautiful pics... and you remind Runty that he was a cute chick at one point, too. hahaha
