Summer Solstice

I just realized that today is the summer solstice. If you don't know what that means, I'll give you the short explanation that I know how to tell.

Today is the longest day of the year. At least for sunlight. Where I live, it is now dark out, but the sun was around until nine tonight.

I think it's pretty cool how the days do that. Leading up to this day the sun stays out longer. And after today the days will get shorter and shorter, but not too fast because during the summer, the days last.
