Today is the longest day of the year in the western hemisphere!
Hooray that this year it just so happens to fall on Father's Day too!
Interesting for most all of my other Americans who celebrate both, but in Florida we really only herald the one, Father's Day.
Why, one may ask?
Sure some Bohemian types may still enjoy welcoming the numerical date of summer's beginning here in Florida, who am I to say no one does, and the fact it is nationally in our lower forty-eight the longest day of the year, okey dokey truly!
But in truth in Florida we don't have seasons per se, in the sense of most states in our union. We might have two, seasons sort of, that is, occasionally for a week or two, but mostly we have summer year round temperature-wise, with maybe a bit of spring thrown in.
Although, our days are shorter, daylight-wise, and you do realize that it is daylight that we mean when we say long and short of it all, since all days still have twenty-four hours in them...ha, but ours are shortest in the months of December through May, like yours too, but the seasons stays pretty much the same, got that?
Gosh, it evens sounds complicated when I explain it and I know what I mean or that I am trying hard to express most days... whew this is harder, hope you get me.
Any-who, days come and days go and I sure hope that all of you have found a great way to spend today, make that everyday!
We did.
Relaxing and barbecuing.
Our Number One Son was to come down tomorrow but his recall problems with his vehicle are needing to be taken care of and tomorrow he is off from work and it wasn't safe to drive all the way down here today. Of course we are disappointed but we want him to be safe and so we totally understand.His girlfriend is working full-time and going to school too and so her only time to study is weekends when she is off.
Yes, we miss him and of course we understand it is what it is and so that's that.
On that note of knowing things cannot always be perfect, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all of your overages with you know whom and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
