My neices and I went to the labyrinth today, for Midsummer's Eve stroll. It was a hot & hazy day - perfect for the eve of Summer.
The plants in the area were blooming and the smell of wild roses was in the air. I noticed that someone had hung Tibetan prayer flags nearby.
And also, on a peach tree, a different kind of prayer/wish flag. We made similar prayer flags in coloured material for a friend to take to the Spirit Dance that she went to last year. I've never seen white flags like this strung on a tree. Peace flags perhaps?
We had a lovely afternoon wandering the area and we made our way to the lakeshore where I had my first dip...with my toes. The lake is still quite cold because of the cool Spring we've had.
Tonight I've put out a plate of fruit & flowers in the garden for the fae folk. There are also some clouds rolling in, so I've put out a bowl in case there is some Midsummer rain. Speaking of moisture, don't forget to wash your face in the morning dew - it is said that Midsummer's morning dew will make you look younger. I'm up for that!
Wishing you all a blessed Midsummer!

Ah, lovely post. If the weatherman is correct, we've some midsummer rain on the way this afternoon just about the time of the solstice. Just to be safe, I left a bowl on my back porch.

That labyrinth is amazing. Maybe that little flag is actually a wish? I've heard of making a wish while tying a piece of fabric to a tree branch. Blessed Solstice!
