Rainy days and rainy nights

Sounds familiar? It does if you live in central Europe. This June sucks big time. I don't quite remember any June being that bad. Even if some day it's not raining from morning, there are bound to be showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Not exactly the best start of summer. In two days, on the 20th June, the longest day of the year shall occur. This is when our ancestors celebrated the power of sun with lighting big bonfires at night. Whole communities would gather even long after the Christianity was introduced. This was the night when magic things would happen, and nature ruled. Nowadays people don't even notice this nature's calendar... Isolated between with walls and watches... Hope rain stops this weekend. It would be nice to be able to take a long deep breath of fresh, clean air filled with fragrances of flowers somewhere in the forest on the longest day of the year...
