OMG!  I thought I was the only one, @Marp !!!  I hate the long days!  Bring on the shorter days of Autumn!

Our humidity is so high, my hair frizzes before I lock the door!!

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

This is how I feel. I know we should enjoy each day but I can’t wait until fall!

Even though we’ve had a mild summer so far (it’s positively cool in the early mornings), the summer solstice is one of my favorite things!

Unusual cool and rainy Spring for us.  It's currently 54 degrees, expected high of 66.  Tomorrow will be 69.  Around here, if you don't like the current weather, just wait 30 minutes and it will change.  I LOVE summer and dread the cold dark winter anymore.  I wish I could be a snowbird.

Gosh I love summer.  I'm surprised so many don't. 

 

I love the long days, more daylit hours, but enjoy nighttime as long as it's warm out.

 

I didn't realize that the soltice meant the daylight hours will get shorter already.  I feel like it stays light out later until about the beginning of Sept.

 

I don't mind fall, but crisp cool days and we pack up and head back south!

It finally got up into the 90's in Oklahoma yesterday, but some parts had a neat index of about 113!  It was I think only 108 or so here. . . Heat in the 90's dew points in the 70's.

Today is the longest day of the year.  After today, they'll gradually get shorter and shorter until December 21st.

The effects of El Niño.

Happy Summer!

 

Last night at 10pm here in Dallas.

Feels like 100.

Oooof.

Summers Solstice is just a day, it's just the longest day of the year so I can't say it means anything to me.  It just means we get few more minutes of daylight than we got on 6/20 and a few less than we will get on 6/22.  Today it's dark and drizzly and dreary so the first day of Summer means nothing at all.  It's in high 60's so I suppose that's something to be happy about.  The week has been like this but the weekend is supposed to gorgeous.  Bright and sunny and warm.  I hope they are right because we haven't had much of spring at all.  We don't get real springs anymore.  We go from winter to  "cool & wet".  When I organized my closets a couple of weeks ago, I found summer clothing and sandals with the tags still on.  Stuff I'd never worn and at the time, I thought it was because I bought too much.  Now I think it's because summer only lasts a 8 weeks or so and my mind hasn't accept that yet.  I'm accustomed to summer starting in mid May and going through the end of September and that just doesn't happen anymore.  Now it starts in early July and is over by the end of August.  The other day, my friend joked that the only she could wear all of her summer things is if she changes twice a day.
