summer solstice

June 21, 2003
6:45 p.m.
Summer Solstice
sunrise: 5:42 a.m.
sunset: 8:33 p.m.
nearly 15 hours of daylight, our longest day of the year -
Forecast high 87 degrees, rather mild for our normal

Our first official day of summer has been filled with kids & friends & swimming & gardening - a fitting day of pleasurable acivity. It feels very pleasant now - probably close to that perfect 72 degrees. I've been alternately working on garden projects out front and out back - in front I planted wooly thyme between some of the sones in my loose patio - 2 six-packs planted, maybe ten times that many to buy & plant before the project's done!
