At some point in my head, I got the idea that July 15 was the midpoint of summer. And I still feel that way. For many years, when younger, I would traipse out to Coney Island, all by myself, and go on the rides I wanted to. These were the spook house rides, the carousel, sometimes the Tilt-A-Whirl, and on one occasion the kiddy roller coaster. Which suited me fine.
Today, I hardly go out to Coney, but I take pleasure in the half point of summer. All the greenery, the beautiful flowers, the sunshine, the ability to dress lightly and comfortably, and, really, even though retired, just enjoying a more leisurely pace than one does in the winter months.
And of course, the world is ablaze with color, which why summer, though it can be discomfiting for someone with my sensitive skin, and aversion to the sun. Despite the detriments, summer is still my favorite season.
So happy mid-summer everyone! And here is the perfect song to go with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the halfway point of summer, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, those of us with sensitive skin must be careful.
you get used to it though.
and of course once you’re retired you don’t have to be subjected to outdoor activities in the blazing sun!!!
Victoria, How true! And the air quality here is horrible. The sky is brown and dark from the Canadian wild fires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
