Oh, The Summer Nights...

6/20/2016

0 Comments

 
Doesn't it seem odd that the longest day of the year comes right at the beginning of summer? Then you spend the rest of the season under the threat of increasing darkness. Winter, as they say, is coming.
And yet, those wild summer nights, getting longer and hotter: don't they just stir something in the blood? Some primal urge, some sense of living it up in the face of looming mortality?

​Where I grew up, in New England, the summers were painfully short and the nights were deliciously long. Oh, the mischief! Fireflies, sunburns, kisses, warm grass. Oh, the memories... Summer days, summer nights, summer loving.

May Day

Why have we lost the tradition of May Day? Nothing like a phallic celebration of spring to kick the season off right.

​I love the restlessness of this time of year, the plants and animals waking up and stretching out, blooming and romping and hoping to be fruitful.

I advocate a return to seasonal celebrations, especially ones that can be celebrated with feasting, drinking, and f...fruitfulness. Let's take it back!

Go to work barefoot with ribbons in your hair and hit on the boss. If you get fired, run happily out the door, laughing and flinging flower petals behind you.

V.D. is Upon Us

Well folks, this is it. V.D. is here. If you've read my book, you'll know what I'm talking about. No, it's not Venereal Disease. Many of us would prefer venereal disease to this day. That's right, I'm talking about the infamous Valentine's Day. It's a ridiculous, made-up holiday, and the bane of any florist's or former florist's existence. For florists, this is the IRS on April 15th. Fortunately, I am happily retired from that industry, so I can sit back and sneer smugly from a distance. And instead, I can kick off a new blog.


Welcome to "Eve's Folly," a place where I will blog about whatever I damn well please. I already have a writing blog stashed away under another identity, so on this one I'm going to shake it up a bit. I may post here on women's issues, sexuality, sex, sexy stuff, stuff about sex, gender roles, sex and sexuality, and more. Ok, don't get your hopes up. I have a new baby in the house, so sex is about the furthest thing from my mind at the moment. You're more likely to see me contributing to that bane of the internet, the Humorous Parenting Blog. Sorry. Gotta do it.


So, off and running in 2015 with a goofy new blog - and some exciting things planned for Fresh Cut this year. A huge Thank You to all my readers and reviewers thus far, you are all amazing!
