Today is summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. It's the longest day of the year. The sun rose at 3:41 am today and it will set at 10:59 pm. The length of day is 19 hours 16 minutes. 
It is also Juhannus as Midsummer is called in Finland. Today was a public holiday. The cities are mostly empty as most people have gone to the countryside or to attend festivals of various kinds.
No, I haven't had anything to drink, yet. I'll finish cleaning the windows of our house. I need to clean the windows upstairs, which means that the job is about 40% done. I like the fact that we have double glazing in this country but at moments like this it's a nuisance.
My wife asked me to send her pictures of our peonies when they bloom. I'll do that. But I'll share them here, too.
Other flowers. I'm a bit too tired now to look up what species they are if I don't remember that.
A rose
Lilies?
