SUMMER SOLSTICE

       The summer solstice is one of my favorite days of the year. We have the excitement of the longest day and then the beginning of shorter days. 

      Here the sun rose at 5:13 AM and sets at 10:00 PM for a total of 16 hours and 47 minutes of sun up. 

     If we watch we can see twilight  at mid night. When I was in the Arctic the midnight sun was always a special event. 




       I took these photos in 2019 in my yard  around 10PM . It was still very pleasant in the evening.

      Our garden plants start to develop very quickly with the long days.
