Tomorrow is the first day of summer, Midsummer Day, the summer solstice.
Tonight is Midsummer Eve..
I never really thought of Midsummer Eve as a holiday until I read I Capture the Castle, my favorite book.
Midsummer Eve is Cassandra's favorite day. She holds rites every year: gathering wildflowers, lighting a nearfire, drinking wine and eating cake.
Bonfires are a traditional celebration. I'm not much of a bonfire kind of girl and have no place to build a bonfire. Instead I drank some wine and lit a candle for the love chakra.
After all, Midsummer Eve is the night Cassandra fell in love.
