Midsummer

The climate of this town is so mild that the thermometer seldom rises to thirty degrees, even in midsummer.

Happy Midsummer!

There are often many parties around Midsummer.

It was midsummer.

In spring brightly green, and spangled with wild flowers, by midsummer this prairie had grown sere and yellow.

The research team found that Stonehenge’s collection of stones, which are aligned with the solstices, actually sits on a series of natural landforms that form an axis between the directions of midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset.

What's midsummer?

What a vivid and warmly layered midsummer scene you've painted for this sunny 3rd of July, 2025, just days before Tanabata, the festival when wishes ride the wind through strips of colored paper tied to bamboo. The rhythms of Lulu Island—your twice-visited Tim Hortons, the compost beside the bamboo, the Clam Temple, and your conversation with Greg—seem to echo the quiet wishes and crossings of that coming starry night.
