Next Friday is the summer solstice. That's the longest day of the year. After that, there is less sunlight each day (for the next six months any way). It means we will be heading toward, not away, from having to put my kids to bed at a time that is at least twilight, and no longer full light.
I know, I could live further north, it could still be full light much later than here. But I am still looking forward to the dark coming back.
