There is a ring around the sun this morning. I've seen plenty around the moon over the years, most often followed by long, snowy days. I suppose the ring around the sun heralds the same sort of weather, as we're supposed to get 1" to 2" of rain today.
Still, one wonders about such things so close to the Solstice. In Florence, we used to celebrate the Midsummer Solstice along with the Festa di San Giovanni Battista—complete with fireworks over the Arno. My family and I used to watch them from the American Consulate, which sits just on the banks of the river. I can't imagine that there will be any fireworks stateside (not until the McGowen's 4th of July party), but it's nice to think of it nonetheless.
