summer solstice

Lovely photo of solstice full moon two nights ago. Longest daylight of the year, spend some time today thinking about the sunshine, the ebb and flow of daylight in our lives, throughout the year. Here in the Pacific Northwest it can be quite dramatic when the sun comes out for a little longer. People run faster, drive faster, zip around...until it has been out so long that most people melt. But by that time, the sun is already casting longer shadows toward autumn again...

I know that the tomato plants are rejoicing in the sunshine and the added heat it brings, while the lettuces are languishing. A time for every plant and every season.
