Summer Solstice Snapshots

Happy Summer Solstice, my friend!

The Summer Solstice is today (1:16 P.M. EDT). Enjoy more sunlight today than on any other day of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere).

-The Farmer's Almanac

This day already seems long (it is 9:30 EST as I type), but the sun will ensure that it actually is the longest day of the year! {I would insert here that my morning has already been, quite literally, full of 'crap'...not just on multiple heiney's, but also smeared all over playroom/living room carpets and an upholstered chair, but that would not be in keeping with my light and cheery summer post.}

In the spirit of summer's solsitice, I am sharing a few snapshots of favorite early-summer memories. There has been joy to be found in frolicking with friends, homemade play and the many unique ways we find to amuse ourselves under the sun.

I would LOVE to see a snapshot of YOUR "early summer". Email me  (jnicolemiller@hotmail.com) your favorite photo with a brief description, and I will display it in my next post.

However you find joy in the warmth of this season, I trust you are able to choose to find it even in the smallest of ways! I can't wait to see  YOUR pictures!
