Midsummer

Trug to the garden

A trug ride to the garden yesterday evening…

.

.

flowers and greenery

….to collect flowers and greenery…

.

.

Snip and tie

…which were snipped and tied to crossed poles!

.

.

Circlets

Two little circles of greenery were to the ends of the cross pieces…

.

.

Ready?

…then it was time…

.

.

Dance

…to dance around the midsummer pole!!

.

.

Dream

And, if a maiden picks seven different wildflowers and puts them under her pillow on Midsummer Eve, she might dream of the person she will  marry!

.

.

Happy Midsummer! (Agriculturally speaking, it’s about half way between the planting and the harvest) and Happy first day of Astronomical summer)!
