Midsummer Night's Madness

"Midsummer Night's Madness,
Caught me in its spell.
Never have I known such gladness.
Never have I felt so well.
Totally in a tizzy,
And so are all my friends.
The whole world's got me dizzy,
And hopin' that the madness never ends."
- Jem and The Holograms

We survived the longest day of 2006 yesterday. Unfortunately with a cold front moving in, the day did not seem as long and bright as it has been during the previous weeks.

I check out Wunderground daily to view our forecast. I also like to read the 'Astronomy' section provided to see how long our days really are here. Yesterday was the first time I have seen the word shorter next to 'Length of Day.'

With Daddy out of town, we spent a late evening at the park and ended it with ice cream. Friday is a holiday for the official Midsummer (Juhannus in Finnish) Celebration, offering everyone a 3 day weekend.
