What day does June 21 mark for you?
Front-Ranger:
August 2 marks 6 weeks since the beginning of summer (June 21). I'm thinking it might be a good time to celebrate midsummer. Or is there an ancient holiday celebrated around that time? Maybe this will relieve the confusion, for me anyway.

August 1 is Lammas for Christians, Lughnasadh for Neopagans.

Summer Solstice is getting close, 20 days.
Then we celebrate "ShorterDays". :laugh:
Front-Ranger:
The solstice is this week! It's been nearly a year since I used my tarot cards; I'm thinking about getting them out, if I can remember where they are.
I wonder if you can order lightning bugs to be sent in the mail. Sure miss them from my childhood.
A good thing about shorter days: I might be able to get a little more sleep in the mornings.
serious crayons:
I never feel any immediate noticeable change with either solstice. The reason Dec. 21 is great is because it suggests the light, literally, at the end of the tunnel. I'm trying not to think about how we're heading toward its forbidding opposite.
