Happy First Day of Summer! ☀️🌸
This year, summer begins on June 20, and you might be wondering — isn't that a little early?
Here’s why:
The summer solstice doesn’t fall on the same date every year. It occurs when the Earth’s North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, giving us the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours.
Because our calendar year (365 days) doesn’t perfectly align with Earth’s orbit (365.24 days), leap years and tiny time shifts push the solstice date around between June 20 and 22. In 2025, the exact moment of the solstice happens earlier, landing us with an early start to summer!
✨ What to celebrate today:
The most daylight hours of the year
The official kick-off to patio season
Warm weather, vibrant gardens, and outdoor fun
Whether you’re planning a weekend hike, hitting the beach, or just enjoying a peaceful evening walk — this is your sign to get outside and enjoy it!
