The summer solstice, the official astronomical start of summer, is today, June 20. Here’s a thread for summery facts and fancies.
Confusingly, midsummer night falls just three days from now, on June 23 — a magical, dreamy time, we need hardly explain.
(Of course, that’s assuming you live in the Northern Hemisphere. For MBers south of the equator, this is the winter solstice, and we beg your pardon.)
I am sunburned.
