Here Comes Summer

The 2026 summer solstice in St. Louis officially arrived this morning at 3:34 AM. The sun rose at 5:31 am and won't set until 8:29 pm, which means there will be almost 15 hours of daylight.

Of course, if you're not a fan of extended daylight, after the longest day of the year it will start getting incrementally shorter every day. The poem "Here Comes" by Shel Silverstein speaks to me abut how fast time seems to fly by.

    Shel Silverstein was so right.
    We look forward to longer, lighter, warmer days, but they are soon over, it seems.

    When we have the longest day I hate to think we're on our way to winter, but today was warm and sunny. I love summer!
