DEFY MONDAY: Summer Solstice

This may be the most important DEFY MONDAY yet as it is the Looooongest Monday of the year! Today is Summer Solstice, the FIRST day of summer and an astronomical phenomena. (A fitting way to start the season, don't you think?) Today we are the closest to the sun we are every going to get, which makes today the day with the longest period of sunlight!
How are you going to spend it?

or maybe with some other fun group activities?



Or is today a spiritual day for you?




Whatever you choose, I must confess, my summer solstice will be spent stuck at this desk. But if I could have it my way, this would be my ideal summer solstice,

But don't fret! What we will be able to do this summer solstice: thawing in the fridge as we speak, some delicious tuna steaks to throw on the grill when we get home tonight. A banging dinner to eat out on the back patio while we fashion some DIY style garden trellis for our rapidly growing vine plants, so that they can stop depending on our chain link fence and stray propane tank. Cucumbers, we are coming to save you!
For some great DIY Garden Trellis guides, check out here and here.

Also, another great for today and all those hot summer days in general,


And they're coming here: to our own Johnny Brenda's, in Philadelphia on July 20th! You can check out their music here and here, and reserve your tickets to the show here. We saw them last June in Philly, opening up for Jenny Lewis. And I can say it, without a doubt - it was the best rock show I've ever seen.
But in the meantime: Hope you all get a chance to get out and enjoy that summer sun! (Don't forget your sunscreen!)
