Ahhhh ... Summer at last! |
Have a great summer!
The winter solstice is tomorrow at our place. Once the shortest day is over we can usually look forward to colder days and rougher weather for a few weeks. Then in September the wind starts blowing for a month or two. And then it is summer, so no complaints.
ReplyDeleteI love your postcards.

Doubt if the Druids at Stonehenge were happy with no sun showing on the shortest day
