St. John's Eve

Midsummer's Night.

I snapped a photo of my St. John's Fires tonight. LOL! - I'm the worst with a camera!

What is Midsummer madness?  From Fountain of Elias:

It is St. John's Eve. Tomorrow is the Feast of the Baptist. It was a tradition in the days of Christendom to have a bonfire in honor of the saint who was a "burning and shining light." (John 5:35) In some places, they still do...

Ah!  Reminds me of a play I once saw... the dialog echoes in me mind...

"But after all, it has only been midsummer madness. Lady Iris, wouid you be good enough to ring for my wrap?"
.
" Certainiy, princess!"
.
" And get rid of those damn cowbells!"
.
"May I help you, princess?"
.
" Thank you, Lady Iris... Goodbye, goodbye. I shall always feel a strong attachment to you all. (Let go!)"
.
"I can't. I'm stuck."
.
" Let go!"
.
"It's my bracelet. It's caught on you...
.
"Bring down the curtain!"
.

Yes dear readers, I shall always feel a strong attachment to you all... after all, it has only been midsummer madness!
