I feel there have been no proper dark nights for many a days now, but apparently it's not summer solstice until today. The lack of dark nights may be one of the reasons for my ongoing tiredness I suppose. I intended to call this 'the tired tuesday post', but 'summer solstice' has a more poetic ring to it. So be it.
Today I picked a wee twig of mock-orange on my way home. One of the loveliest scents I know. I sniffed happily on that wee twig all the way home on train, on bus. Every year I mean to get a shrub of my own. Still haven't.
Lilacs, lilies of the valley, mock-orange - oh summer, you scent intoxicating fleeting season!
I hope you're having a fine kind of summer solstice wherever you are ~
Winter solstice here. Though one of our friends (not a fan of the cold) welcomes it as a sign that things can only improve. Me - I like winter, the crisp, pared back beauty.
ReplyDeleteJag fick googla, och sålunda lära mig att du menade schersmin, på svenska. Nu måste jag ut och hitta nån också. :)
ReplyDeleteIts funny ho the world seems a smaller place when you blog. Yesterday I got confused reading a post about Winter Solstice and thought the poster was out of sync. Then I realised she was in Australia !
ReplyDeleteToday I read how you are having VERY long days which I guess is because you are further north than me..
Its so easy to think that the world sees everything the same as I do !! Very funny....
If you have time would you like to join a 3 day blog hop this weekend ??

We have had so much rain here, that an overly long summer sunshine day sounds WONDERFUL! Hope you get some sleep soon!
