The Summer Solstice 2024

 


Here, wearing my grandfather's 1913 Flagman's Cap, to announce this is the Summer Solstice.  Here in Oxford, Mississippi, this starts 3:50 PM, 20 June 2024. This day is 4 hours and 36 minutes longer than that of the Winter Solstice in December. 

In the old days, the folk used to lift a glass to Dagda this day. I still follow the practice myself. Bonfires always welcomed on this day. To you all, enjoy the Summer Solstice.
