Happy solstice, even if where I am it rained all through the shortest night and the longest day appears to be continuing the tradition. Summer comes in anyway. The year keeps turning.
Happy solstice to you as well. It rained all night here too, which seems strange to me given how far apart we are. I guess that's just the kind of year it is.
Summer did come in with an abrupt increase in humidity, though the hot weather is not coming til next week and I see they have already dropped the forecast highs a degree or two. Everything that can do so in cooler temperatures than generally occur is really going to town and walking around in its best bonnet, though. The peonies are amazing.

It cleared by evening! Deep blue late dusk. spatch and I joined my parents for dinner and then my mother went home and my father came with us to the Harvard Museums' Solstice Celebration. We got three out of four museums and some Greek music. It was great.

I'm so glad! (And that's a wonderful image where flowers are concerned.) Photographs?
David has taken some photos of the peonies, and also of the white Dutch clover and wild chamomile on the boulevard, but he's still fussing with them. I'll point people at them as soon as he's done. I could also, of course, take some lesser ones of my own once, once things calm down early next week.
Happy solstice! Lovely that you had rain - we were half-promised some, but it hasn't come to anything. We are getting a hearty dose of warmth, though - the minimum tonight will be 29 Celsius, again.

I look forward to whichever comes first, or both.

I would certainly rather have rain than drought. And today has been brilliantly clear, which feels like a nice start to the season.

I'm so glad you've got that mango tree.
