Twenty-Twelve's Sizzling Summer Solstice

 Today is a scorcher here in New England - hot and humid, yet green and glorious because we've been fortunate so far with a fair amount of rain and cool-ish temperatures - it's time for me to invoke the ancient power of the Green Man to encourage all my plants to grow like crazy!
 
Magnificent mugwort - such a wonderful "weed" - is growing wild again everywhere!

On this day, I'm content to putter around the house doing laundry, washing dishes, making jewelry, watering plants, trying to figure out a way to honor the Summer Solstice... perhaps pulling some weeds and planting some herbs would be an appropriate act of appreciation for abundance?

Enjoying the vividly vibrant colors of summer

Hmmm - so would sipping a wine spritzer with lots of ice... watching a favorite movie... making more jewelry... opening up my art journal and drawing a personal mandala to bring about abundance... oh, yeah, NOW we're talking! Enjoy today, the longest day of the year, and may you have pleasantly sweet dreams tonight, the shortest night of the year ~

Happy Summer Solstice!
