You sure couldn’t tell it was the longest day of the year here, what with the grey skies and cloud cover, but Happy Solstice anyway! I went to see Elton John in concert last night, a last-minute invitation from a good friend who had disinvited her husband because he’s been such a butthead lately.

Got a lot done, though. I hope it makes tomorrow easier. The pear trees are in bloom. If I miss a photo of them again this year I will be very upset with myself, though I can’t get out to take it again until Friday, so keep your fingers crossed that those pretty white petals are still on the trees and...
