Midsummer Night Dreaming

Midsummer Night Dreaming

That beautiful season the Summer! Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Happy Summer Solstice!

Through the ages, the summer solstice was a time of great celebration. Days were longer, nights warmer, food more abundant. It was a time to dance and sing and spread joy and be filled with love and gratitude.

Summer Solstice, which occurs tomorrow at precisely 3:06pm here in Nova Scotia, is still a time for celebration. Light a bonfire, watch the sun rise and set, take a long walk in the woods, commune with Nature. Enjoy the Midsummer Night and look forward to the days ahead and to Summer's bounty.
