Good morning, Summer Solstice!

Today, June 21, marks the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Philippines. It is called summmer solstice. Earlier at around 6 am, my daughter woke up and came down to kiss me. Then she looked out the window and said "Oh, the sun seems to be too bright at this time." After a breakfast of egg mayo sandwich, I cleared the kitchen sink of dirty dishes and came out to the front garden to do some weeding. I'd been itching to weed for the longest time but have been too busy with module work and other chores. The rainy season has commenced and these weeds would just multiply and grow thick if I don't tend to them. I cleared half of the narrow strip of garden in front. Oh boy, I thought my workout squats were easy, but squatting down to pull out weeds is a different thing. As soon as I filled up my bucket of weeds, I took off my gloves and approached the grandmas in our neighborhood for some chit-chat. One of them was weeding too. :o) It feels good to be gardening with your neighbors early in the morning. Now I'm here at my work station for some myLot and module work and some K-drama watching in between. No major lunch preps necessary today 'cause I'm just going to reheat last night's pork sinigang. Hope your Wednesday's going well.
