…when the living is easy.

Summer is one of my favourite times of year, which is why I’m wicked excited that today is the summer solstice. Although summer has been creeping up over the last few weeks, there’s something magical about the longest day of the year which reminds me of a key turning into place, about to open the doors of summer. Summer is awesome because the days are warm and long, and my friends are back in town, and, at least for a few weeks, I can feel 16 again, only way cooler than I actually was when I was 16.

I note that my first river day last year was 28 May, and I have yet to go this year, which is definitely something which needs to be remedied. I assume that when Tristan comes out a little later this summer, there will be some rivertime happiness going on. There’s really nothing better than a day at the river, especially after a long ramble through the woods:

Summertime is also, of course, PARADE TIME.

And fruit o’clock:

Happy Solstice, everyone.
