Summer Solstice '16

Blessed Litha '16!

This is one holiday that really is not to be  missed - and yet it falls at such a busy time of year. There is so much energy at this time that it seems we are so eager to go, go, go and yet the heat seems to put us into slow motion, begging for shade!

I know it may sound odd, but remember this is about My Pagan Family so - here it is. We celebrate this sabbat over a few days. We cleaned out our garage, mulched landscape beds, and spruced up the outdoor fire circle. We had intended to have our bonfire but it just didn't work out this time. 

We went to a water park and basked in the glory of the sun! We also enjoyed our lunch on a breezy patio while watching the birds. 

The kids love having Slurpee, Icey, Slushy, Kona, cold sweet treats. We let the kids go crazy with this stuff during Litha. It just feels right. 

A baseball game rounded out our Litha celebrations. Aaaah the people watching ;)

Of course a cheerful alter was in order. Lots of sunshine themed, warm colors. Wheres the photo? Eeeeeh. I have took hunt for a photo. I had some tech difficulties in the midst of the summer and I don't know if the photos I took are going to make it here. We shall see. Life just IS. 

All in all a good solstice. 
Wishing you and yours a sunny happy summer!
