Here we are, at the longest day of the year.
The Solstice weekend signals the calendar beginning of the Summer Season.
Even though we seem to be having one of those rainy/cloudy/cool spring-into-summer weather patterns so far, the calendar days unfold into one of the "four seasons".
Summer is a mental state, as well as an actual season, it seems to me. We carry with us all those summer days from our pasts, the days when we were small, when we learned to swim, when we lazed in hammocks and read books, when the adult world shimmered before us, but could still be put on hold.
Later, we passed along the lazy charms of summer to our children...days at the cabin, making pies and jam from all those blackberries, floating on our backs in lakes, and ponds, waterskiing in ocean bays...
There is an ethic of summer....
Whatever it is that spells summer to you, I wish you lots of it!
For me, I plan to walk a lot of beaches....
How may I help you to discover special Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands? Call me!
