Happy Summer Solstice also known as Litha. (the longest day of the year and shorted Night of the year)! And Happy Mid-summer (June 24th)!
I know it might seem odd to to call June 24th Midsummer since it's only a few days after the official start of summer but remember, the Ancient Greeks only had two seasons. Before Autumn and spring were invented there was just Winter and Summer and that means around the solstice is actually the middle part of the warm season (Summer).
So enjoy the longest day of the year and welcome the return of Darkness!
