Summer Solstice

Today is the longest day of the year. After this point, the days will begin getting shorter and shorter. For some reason, I've always thought of the Summer Solstice as the last day of summer because we're now going towards Winter. Kind of sad if you really think about it. Summer's over with and it seems as though it had just begun o.o What's interesting is that it's going to get hotter even though the days are growing shorter o.O
