“AND what is so rare as a day in June?
 Then, if ever, come perfect days;
 Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
 And over it softly her warm ear lays;
 Whether we look, or whether we listen, 
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”

James Russell Lowell

Perfect days? Yes, even here on Skye - days of midsummer greenesss. A walk by the sea with the dog where we both looked and listened…. More from that author in the ALT

“Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, some new decision, offering each bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever twixt that darkness and that light.” ― James Russell Lowell (1819 to 1891) That could be good advice pertaining to the elections on either side of the Atlantic this year…

Our upstairs neighbour likes to fish. So we got a few amazing fillets of sander from him for an extra special midsummer eve dinner. Took me right back to my seaside childhood. The fish was so good, tears in your eyes good.😍

Made it with a traditional dill slaw, a trad eggy sauce and new potatoes. I swear this beats any Michelin restaurant.

And made chocolate cake for dessert. With strawberries and cream.

Happy Midsummer! Hyvää juhannusta!

Time to make incense for #Midsummer, I suppose! Small batch because I use the whole thing each time. No sense letting it get hard and stale over a year or more. Unless I was making pellets, but I'm not.

My craft table with book, ingredients, and basic accoutrements readily available. Book is Cunningham's The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews, with Midsummer Incense #2 flagged. Ingredients: Benzoin, Frankincense, Dragon's Blood, Rosemary and Thyme. The book calls for Vervain, but I have none, so I'm subbing mugwort instead. My part today is 1 tsp (US measures). Oh, and a couple drops of red wine, not shown.
All ingredients save the wine are in the mortar and pestle, ready to go. Yeah, there's the empty jar of Beltane incense there as well as a candle holder in need of a clean (wax + sand).
The ingredients are ground up!
I put the incense powder into an old jar that formerly held pesto lol. The extra work to get the pesto smell out so it doesn't mess with whatever I put into the jar next is worth it to have a convenient sized jar.
