En god midsommarnatt til dig!
(A good mid-summer night to you!)
Here in the Rheinland, we don't have the midnight sun or the Grand Canyon to stare at (I take it the oboe is optional). It is also grey and unseasonably cold. But we are leaving soon to hear one of our favorite musicians tonight, and that adds much warmth.

(15,445 posts)11. Glad you checked in DFW! Unseasonably cold here in Paris, too.
Only a pale, washed out sun since this morning. Although, it seems to be gaining on the clouds right now. (16h) But, the day will be reeeaaaally long!
That's one thing I had to get used to after moving here. Such LONG days in summer and SHORT days in winter. I originally came from lower latitudes.
Have never seen the Midnight Sun, but would love to. Some of my ancestors came from Sweden--in fact, my grandmother was born there.
