I was supposed to be at Serpent Mound in Ohio to watch the sun set into the serpent’s mouth as it does every summer Solstice (technically Solstice is tomorrow, but observance was tonight). Instead, I sat inside most of the day and watched the winds of Tropical Storm Bill blow rain sideways and ruffle trees like they were weightless feather dusters. Waiting out the storm wasn’t much of an option since it was headed directly to the place I wanted to go. However, by 6 o’clock this evening, as the sun was peeking steadily from behind the clouds, I was kicking myself for not going. I’m pretty sure the folks who weren’t bothered by the threat of flooded roads are right now preparing for a beautiful sunset over the native mound. Meanwhile, I’ll watch the sun set down the center of my suburban street, just me and Wally and my trying-ever-so-hard-not-to-be-bummed positive attitude. Solstice isn’t the only time to enjoy Serpent Mound. I will try again.
