I looked outside at 10 p.m. and the sky was still somewhat light, call it "twilight." Starting tomorrow the days begin getting shorter, a process that will continue until just before Christmas.
Technically, summer begins tomorrow throughout the northern hemisphere. Summer won't hurt our feelings, we haven't had much warm weather this spring. Nobody hereabouts is particularly surprised; real summer comes late and ends early 1.2 miles above sea level.
