It’s hard to believe that just a few short months ago, it was dark at 5-ish pm here in Minnesota. Loving these long days. Not the heat, though.

I’m pretty sure summer got here a couple of weeks ago — if weather is any indication.

yes, weather certainly has it’s own opinion of when the seasons begin and end

It sounds like Summer weather certainly got off to a very early start in other parts of the US but we in the Northeast have had Spring-like conditions up until this Summer Solstice. We also know that’s going to change very soon. I’m one who doesn’t mind the fact daylight is shorter in Fall and Winter (my favorite seasons). But for those who love the extra light-time, enjoy.

We just saw the lightening and heard thunder, then came a little splash. That was it. The sun came out now.

Love this time of year, especially up here where, as I look out my window, the sun is still not fully set, and won’t be for a while.
