I thought the same thing yesterday...I lit a candle last night...thinking, oh my...the days will get shorter again.
We have only had one day of summer.

Oh no - I hadn't thought about the days getting shorter. Something seems wrong about that happening on the first day of summer!

That's right summer solstice was yesterday. Down here in Houston we have long days pretty much all summer. Can't believe you had snow again recently. The bowl of fruit is sure pretty. Hope it was gracing your tabletop.

I hope that the fact that summer is now officially here in the northern hemisphere means southern Alberta is trough with snow for awhile. I've enjoyed the longer days, it seems a shame that they have to start getting shorter.

On the bright side for me is that shorter days mean cooler nights.At least I hope so.
I am not someone who tolerates heat very well.

Yes---after about 2 weeks of horribly hot weather in Spring, it is now officially Summer... AND--it's still very very hot. Can't believe you recently had some snow... Wish we had a little bit of cooler weather... (Can't be satisfied, can we???? ha)

I like the longer days too--and hate to see them begin to get shorter.... Oh Well.

Hugs,
Betsy

Never really appreciated longer days till we moved to the Northwest. It really does make a difference up here :0)

That bowl of fruit is soo pretty! I recently broke a chrystal bowl like that - one I've had for almost 35 years ... I was sad about it.

Yes we are just past our shortest day, but we know there are colder days to come before the balmy days of Spring.

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...

Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...
