About Midsummer's Day

Tomorrow is Midsummer's Day, or so a quick search on Google told me. And even though the Summer solstice was on the 21st, last Saturday. Apparently, it is very celebrated, but not by me. For two reasons: 1)I don't like summer and 2)for me, the 24th is Québec's National Day, which is the special day that I celebrate. Anyway, you can learn all you need to know about Midsummer's Day in the Ladybird Book What to Look for in Summer. I am sharing the pages here. It has a nice picture too, as you can see, with swallows, a tractor and Stonehenge in the background. Because everything looks better with Stonehenge. There is one thing I love about Midsummer's Day and the solstice: it means summer is slowly slowly declining. It is a promise that one day, the heat and the long days will end.
