- Today marks the Summer Solstice ☀️ — the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It has been celebrated for thousands of years as a moment of abundance, light, growth and gratitude 🌿🌾
A time to pause and appreciate the beauty of the season — from fertile soil and flourishing gardens to shared meals and the rhythm of nature 🌸🐝
On the longest day, the world feels bright,
A garden held in golden light ✨
Cows graze gently, hens scratch near,
Bees hum softly, summer is here 🐄🐓🐝
Courgettes hide beneath leaves of green,
Sweet peas climb where the sun has been 🌱
The flowers dance in the sea-salt breeze,
And birdsong drifts through the trees 🌸🌊🐦
In the kitchen, pans softly sing,
With herbs and strawberries, taste takes wing 🍓🌿
There’s joy in all that hands prepare,
And wonder waits everywhere 🍳
So on this solstice, bright and long,
We greet the day with thanks and song 🎶
For soil and seed, for sun and sea,
For all the beauty we can see 🌞🌍💚
Wishing you a beautiful Solstice filled with light, warmth and gratitude.2d - Beautiful Rory 🌞Reply
