The reason is I have SAD, seasonal affective disorder, and the more sunlight the better. Sunlight is the greatest cure for SAD. Some lights actually hurt me, certain moonlight, the orange streetlights in San Jose that were put there by the astronomers at Lick Observatory to cut the lights of the city so they could observe the night sky better, and almost all florescent lighting except cfl's. I actually get nauseated by these lights or uneasy. So this wonderful natural event is heralded in my life for enjoyment of natural sunlight as long as I can.
The second part of nature's gift around my birthday is what one naturalist in Boston, MA once wrote in the Boston Globe for the very day of my birthday, the 24th. It is the day of the year that the timothy is high and all birds roost. Every bird has a home, so should every human.
Happy Summer!
