Uphill or downhill? Ha ha. Not sure which term is more appropriate but I’m sure we’ll all be seeing the light after today.

Well, in the Northern Hemisphere yes. What did those pagans in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate on this date...the transition to shorter days?

Litha is the celebration of the summer solstice.
I took a run up to Milan on RT110, pure blue sky and the Kilkennys are looking good along with the Mahoosucs. Definitely sunglasses weather.
