Midsummer’s Day!

Gee whiz it’s June already and we all know what that means, right?  School is out for the summer and it’s time for summer camp - if you’re lucky.  We didn’t have summer camps when I was growing up in England, but we didn’t have 3 month long summer vacations either.  Six weeks was all we got!  I feel very deprived…..

June 21st is the longest day of the year, after that the nights will get shorter and shorter and shorter and before you know it, it’ll be Christmas!  Take heed, plan ahead and all that jazz.  Better shop now while we can still afford to put gas in the car!  Gas is $8 per gallon in England BTW. It’s always been high, but the cars also get about 50 mpg so it kinda equals out.

June 24th is Midsummer’s Day, however in the ancient calendar it was celebrated on the 4th of July!  How’s about that for a strange coincidence.  Midusummer used to be a time for festivals and all kinds of celebrations with lots of magical, mystical customs associated with them. Other than that, June is a very unassuming month.

For all you scrapbookers out there, the Gt. American Scrapbook Convention is in Arlington this coming weekend, so I’ll be heading over there for a day, or maybe two.  I’ll let you know how it was later.

Cheers, Julie :)
