Today is mid-summer. Truly. We are halfway through summer, celestially speaking. Today(ish) is the cross quarter between summer solstice and autumnal equinox.

I think of it as The Feast of Sunflowers and/or First Harvest. Gardens are overflowing. Hopefully, your life is overflowing with abundance of growth, happiness, contentment, peace, change, permanence, love, and all the beauty that Life has to share with us.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

—Oberon describes Titania’s bower, where she sleeps. Act 2, Scene 1

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare

Today, I’m working on finishing my Apocalypse zine. Zine Fest is upon us!!! October 4-6. So I’m trying to finish up my half-done zines for my table there. If all goes as planned – and we all know how that goes – then I’ll have 4 completed full size zines, 1 mid-size zine, and 3 mini-zines. I’m proud of myself.
