Summer Solstice 2022

 Today will see the Earth soak up the maximum amount of daylight — 15 hours, 5 minutes and 37 seconds of sun in the New York area. It is the first day of summer, the Summer Solstice. So guess who we drove past?


The Big Cat, of course. And she is ready to rock 'n roll the summer! All decked out in her sunglasses, hula skirt, and shell bikini top.


I don't think she could ever be found anywhere near the water, though. She hates to get wet, but is such a fashionista that she must make a seasonal statement to all who pass by. She is always smilng when dressed appropriately.


She even has her own summer flag!


"Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.'

"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."

I'm happy for the longest day of the year and hate to see them getting shorter again.

what a sweet photo. Good to see you here. Not doing much blogging, with all that happened with Nick who is doing well. But now a new health battle for our son-in-law Roger. Having brain surgery tomorrow at 7:30 A. M. I am grateful because I know the neurosurgeon who is doing his surgery. He followed me in the 1980's after all my neurosurgery. Heis a very godly man always giving his skill and talent up to God. Roger is going to have to fight for his life so all prayers are so greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Have a beautiful week.

It is a lot of fun for the viewer and I bet they had fun putting up the displays.

Sunday Sunset

 I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...
