Beginning, Middle or End?

Hooray! The Summer Solstice has arrived and (officially) that means the start of summer for most of the Northern Hemisphere. I only say most because that’s where everyone tends to live. For those who live closer to the North Pole, the Summer Solstice holds another meaning; winter is coming.

It’s true and you can’t avoid it. In another three months or so we will start feeling the cooler temperatures and finding early morning frost on the ground. Does this depress you? Probably but for some it is exciting and only means a change of toys.

The kayak will be put away in exchange for a snowboard; shorts and swimming trunks for pants and long johns; treaded bike tires for studs. The rotation of the seasonal storage won’t happen for another couple of months but it is already on the minds of some.

I just hope I don’t forget where I put all my stuff.
