Summer Solstice

Tomorrow June 20 is the summer solstice and the first official day of summer!

For many of us now the past few days have felt like we are in the summer already with hot, humid weather but we aren’t quite there yet.

The summer solstice represents the time when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.  That will be tomorrow at 4:50pm so get ready to grill tomorrow night.

You may be like us and think about all of the great things about summer.  Heading to the beach, swimming in the ocean or a lake, taking a boat ride, gardening and maybe even taking a trip with family or friends.

The days of sunlight are longer and hopefully you are able to get outside more often (and without all that winter gear!).

Are you a kayaker?  Heading out on the water for a couple of hours of kayaking is a super way to get exercise and enjoy being on the ocean or lake.

Did you plant any flowers? If you are a gardener you can enjoy the plants and flowers that you worked into your garden. 

Do you like birds? You might get a bird feeder and watch who comes to visit.  Hopefully get a visit from  the birds in our area, like cardinals, yellow warblers, nuthatches and titmouses to name a few.

The beach is a great way to spend a day with your family.  At the beach it’s time for castle building or tide pooling and of course swimming.  Just be sure to have umbrellas and lots of sunscreen.

The awesome thing about the summer is that the options feel endless.  The sun is out, you can wear light clothing and your day lasts well into the evening.
We at Private Home Health Care welcome the longest day of the year and the summer tomorrow. We wish you all happy times and lots of memories to share.
