The good news? Summer's here, school's out and, well, didn't you hear me say "summer's here"? It's time for ice cream, pools, sun dresses (yes!), vacations, Screen on the Green and any number of other fun things. Just think, a little more than four months ago we here in the D.C. area were digging our way out of and slogging our way through feet of snow. Snow, I might add, that lasted well beyond it's welcome.

What's the bad news?

Well, since you asked, it being the solstice and all every day from now until Dec. 21 will be shorter than the day that came before. A little less daylight, a little less sun every day from now until Christmas week.

Happy Solstice!

i'd be ok if today was also the HOTTEST day of the year. if DC could just dial this back about 5-10 degrees i'd be much obliged :-)
Margaritas! Patios! Sundresses! Oh my!
Well, maybe not that last one for you so much. But ya get me.
Actually, my dearest LiLu, all people may appreciative of the joy that is the sundress.
summer in the city. oh, yes. i cannot wait. margaritas sound pretty divine right now, actually...
Alice - Strangely, after spending mucho time on the NC and the Texas Gulf coasts, I actually *enjoy* hot, muggy, you can actually, physically, see the air kind of days.
LiLu - I appreciate all of the above, especially sundresses because of how lovely they make you look. And how easily they can be removed.
Ref - Joy unbounded.
mags - Did someone say tequilla? I'da sworn someone said tequilla.
It is my favorite season. It's ironic that the days are technically the longest but seem to fly by.
Don't forget barefoot badminton. And I'm a big fan of al fresco dining.
I know! GRIM! It's all downhill from here!
So weird -- I had the same thought (about the days getting shorter until December). I need to try to be more of a "glass half-full" kind of person.
