Dear, Unsealers:

Today is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year.

Though the summer solstice won’t be official until 4:50 PM this afternoon, the season has already made it’s presence felt in the midst of a heatwave.

Though, there’s plenty more to the season than the heat and humidity. This is a time of year to soak up everything that the late sunsets have to offer.

As is my wont to do, I wrote a welcome to the new season coming up.

When the summer solstice dawns
The seasons change again

With it, the longest day of the year
As the sun sets past 8pm

Hazy days, sultry nights
A time of year where time slows down

From mid June to mid September
The world’s come to life
From the streets, sands and seas

Soaking up the warm rays of light
As one does
When earth is closest to the sun

Welcome summer and your mercurial ways
For a stay over the next ninety four days
