With luck and the weather gods' help, the skies will cease spitting thunder, lightning and torrential rain and we’ll welcome the Summer Solstice precisely at 10:58 EDT this morning, heralding the longest day of 2023… and a starry sky tonight. | |

Bend low again , night of summer stars, So near you are, sky of
summer stars, So near, a long armed man can pick off stars Pick off
what he wants in the sky bowl, So near you are, summer stars So near,
strumming, strumming So lazy and hum-strumming.
