The longest day - and I missed it!

It’s the longest day of the year.

This doesn’t mean our day has more than 24 hours in it - it just means that we just have more sunlight than any other day.

On the summer solstice we get between 15 and 20 hours of sunlight, depending on where you’re located in the world.

This occasion is also called Midsummer because it is almost in the middle of the growing season throughout most of Europe.

There’s even a parade!

So if you’re in Santa Barbara California on the 24th,
you might want to go to the parade.

Happy Summer!
