quiltmonkey Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 To those of you in the southern part of our world: Happy WINTER solstice! To those of you north of the equator: Happy SUMMER solstice! :cool: Here in the far reaches of the north, it\'s 11:30 AM and currently 75 degrees Farenheit; should get into the 80s later this afternoon. A bright sunny day. I\'m grilling fresh fish (my DH caught the other night) on the bbq for supper tonight. Our town has lots of outdoor festivities planned, and a rock concert playing tonight. Today (the longest day of the year) where I live, the sun rose at 4:20am and the sun will set at 11:42pm. After today, the days will gradually get shorter. But, I\'m enjoying my nice, warm long days while they\'re here. The plants and trees are in full bloom and I have robins in my nearby trees that sing practically all day long. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Happy quilting! Here\'s a pic I took today of some dogwood covering the ground near our little weekend getaway (a log cabin about 45 minutes drive from home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Gamez Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 its supposed to be 110 for the next few days here....I CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER TO BE OVER.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I, too, look forward to the Summer Solstice (here in Northern California). We\'re having a party too. Yesterday it was 102 locally, and I felt smug that I had placed my new machine in the coolest part of the house. OK, it is the living room and the machine is slated to move upstairs next month. For now, though, I escape the heat of my office and what else is there to do downstairs but quilt ? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWBowser Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 We are in the high 70s in upstate New York. We have had unseasonal cooler temperatures around here. Tomorrow we have thunderstorms predicted. I will take that compared what our friends in the mid-west are going through. Happy Summer.

ffq-lar Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Happy back atcha Shana! Summer came here yesterday --just in time. And today is 80 and humid. I leave for work at 4:30 am and today the sun was just lightening the sky to the east over Mt. Rainier. It was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 It definately feels like Summer, just not summer here! We\'ve had 100+ temps for the past 3 or 4 days which is quite unusual on the coast. It\'s suppose to cool off tonight and tomorrow and we\'re anxiously waiting for the fog to roll in.

sewbobby Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Here in Apple Hill (4 miles up the hill from Placerville CA) it got to 95. Pretty warm for us also since I don\'t have AC. I can\'t wait for summmer to be over so I can go back to Surprise AZ and to Camp Mowana :-). Where is Aromas CA? It must be by the coast if you are waiting for the fog to roll back in. I love this site I have learned so much and everyone is so terrific !!! Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hey there Shana - the nights are even shorter here - or would be if it would stop raining! Feels like autumn here! Couldn\'t be bothered to go up to the Standing Stones (there are lots here - if you have read stuff by Diana Gabaldon this is where it all started) because it was too cold! BUT I did go and see a great Scottish Folk group called the "Old Blind Dogs"... LINZI x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 June 21st was my birthday...I had to celebrate at DH\'s nephew\'s wedding. At least I had this huge white cake - it had the cutest couple on top....lots of tiers...no candles. I didn\'t want to make a big deal of my birthday since that day was for the couple.
