I was in Target the other day and they had all the summer/seasonal things pushed back against the wall and they were setting up the school supply display. I couldn't believe it. School starts in my county on August 3rd, which is absurdly early. Call me old fashioned, but I don't see the buying of school supplies as a 7 week event. Y
You get the list from the school and go about a week before hand and you're done.
WOW...school ENDED here in Buffalo TODAY!

It probably depends on where you live. For us, July 4th is the official start of summer. Schools just got out this week and warm weather has been hit-or-miss so far but it usually warms up around the 4th. Public pools open up around the 4th, soft ball leagues start, all the good summer stuff kicks in. Sometimes, Fall starts in late August. If we are very, very lucky Summer weather hangs around through September. Although lately, I noticed that even if the weather cools down in September, we all still pretend we're in the middle of summer. You go to the cookout in crops, sandals and tee shirt.....but you take your fleece jacket with you...lol

ETA the feast of John the Baptist is the longest day of the year, after this the days begin to shorten.
Actually, the longest day of the years is the Summer Solstice, which was June 21, and yes, days (i.e, daylight hours) are shorter now. And the Nativity of St. John the Baptist is June 24, not July.
