12.19.14.7.10 9 Oc 18 Zotz

Lord of the Night #6: Chalchihuitlicue
9 Oc (day 230 of 260)
2010 days until 12-21-2012
Happy summer solstice/midsummer's day/first day of summer.
Did you ever wonder why the FIRST day of Summer is called "Mid-Summer's Day?" (And the first day of winter is Midwinter's Night)? That's because having 4 seasons is a relatively new concept. There used to be only 2--summer (which lasted from the spring to the fall equinox) and winter (which lasted from the fall equinox to the spring). Therefore the Solstices were the mid-way points.
