Summer Solstice

Yesterday, June 21 was the summer solstice. I think it is my favorite day of the year.  This day is when the sun reaches the highest position in the sky and is the longest period of daylight. I don’t like darkness so the more daylight, the better. 

I had a friend that used to throw a summer solstice party every year. She is gone now but I still miss her. 

Many cultures have festivals and rituals on the summer solstice. The US sees this day as the beginning of summer.
