Midsummer eve
Life is just a bowl of Rainier cherries with vanilla ice cream. The first of the season from Lake Chelan, and only $2.99 a pound at Safeway this week.
Today is the summer solstice, and for us in the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year and the shortest night. It doesn't feel like it this morning; we're buried under a dark grey blanket of marine overcast. It might burn off to a scorching 69 degrees by late afternoon. Ah, Seattle. And don't even think about the fact that the amount of light goes downhill from here.
The Fremont Solstice Parade is tomorrow, famous for naked bicyclists. Google if you don't believe me. And Sunday is the 45th annual Gay Pride Parade on 4th Avenue. We might catch part of it when we go downtown to the Symphony-- our last of the season.
Have a good summer weekend!
Here in TX panhandle, 103 F with 12% humidity. Going to be in the 90's with 40-50% humidity for the next 10 days. Wish I was there.
