Summer Solstice/Litha

Happy Summer Solstice, and/or Litha. No matter what your belief is or what you call it, it is a special day for the earth and sun. The day of the sun. This is one of my favorite celebrations. Not a celebration for or because of war or death or anything depressing, just a day about the earth and the sun. It takes place on June 21st (today) and it is because it is the longest day of the year. Some think it is a day for spirituality and religon while others just think it is another lonnng day. I think it is a wonderful day to honor the sun and the earth. Some things I like to do today is:

Eat yellow, red, and orange foods such as
-pinneaple
-squash
-corn
-yellow or red potatoes
-cherries
