summer solstice.

i love summer. i love the sun, the green trees, the thick vermont forests, the open colorado aspen fields, the smell of charcoal grilling, the crackling of bonfires. i love hiking, biking, swimming and boating. i love bare feet, sundresses, tank tops. i love sand in my toes, sun on my shoulders. i love the starry nights, the cool summer breeze, and i love daylight.

oh yes. i love daylight.

and so tonight, on the summer solstice, i give thanks for the light.
