Summer Solstice

Yesterday was the day we mark as having the longest amount of daylight for the whole year. This past week I have been afflicted with a bit of insomnia and only seem to be able to get five hours of sleep at best each night. I woke at 3:50 am yesterday, well before that long period of light began. But the insomnia did allow me to enjoy every drop of sunshine the day offered. I didn't miss a thing. It was quite refreshing to see it only a little dusky at 9:00 pm, the way it will be at 5:00 pm come winter. But that's still a long way off and, though the days will shorten, they'll only lack a minute or so of daylight each time.
