TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "I like summer. I like warmer weather and long days.
I'm one of those silly people who still enjoy lying in the

HINT: (1947 - ) Famous American author best known for her
drama novels, 22 of which have been adapted for television.

RANDOM TIDBITS
The term solstice comes from the Latin words 'sol' (sun)
and 'sistere' (to stand still). The summer solstice is the
time of the year when the sun stops its northern climb and
stands briefly before turning back toward the equator.
***
The Solstice is the longest day of the year! On June 21
and 22, we will have nearly 17 hours of daylight to enjoy.
From March 21 until September 24, there are more hours of
daylight than darkness. After June 21, the days will
gradually grow shorter until December 20, the winter
solstice.
***
Some people believe that our seasons are caused by the
Earth's changing distance from the Sun. In reality, it is
due to the 23-degree tilt of the Earth's axis that the Sun
appears above the horizon for different lengths of time at
different seasons. The tilt determines whether the Sun's
rays strike at a low angle or more directly.

***********************************************************
The biggest ritual that is held in celebration of the summer
solstice is at Stonehenge. The New Age Druids believe in
nature and the power that it exudes which is why they per-
form rituals to welcome the new season, feast, dance and
play until the sun rises.
***
The amazing ancient site shows that on the longest day of
the year, the summer solstice, the massive stones align
perfectly with the rising sun!
***
In addition to the solstices and the equinoxes there are
also cross-quarter days which fall approximately halfway
between a solstice and an equinox. And each one has a minor
holiday attached to it.
February 2 is Groundhog Day. May 1 is May Day. August 1 is
a little-know celebration known as Lammas that comes from
England during which bread from the season's first wheat
was consecrated. And of course, Halloween on October 31!
