Today is the summer solstice (if you live in the northern hemisphere, anyway... happy winter solstice if you're down under -- longer days are just around the corner!) -- also known as midsummer or Litha, and the longest day of the year. Enjoy!
Hard to believe the days are already going to start getting shorter again.
Birding update, Alice: I saw me a Cedar Waxing up on Spruce Knob (the highest point in WV) last week. I tried to get some pictures, but our camera doesn't have a very good zoom. I'm thinking maybe they prefer the higher altitudes because I ain't seen one around my place, yet. We live on the Ohio River, which lays lower than most of the places around us.

I'm enjoying the long days, that's for sure! I'm glad you got to see the Cedar Waxwing up close -- they're beautiful birds!
