This date marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun,  (summer solstice),
 resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year.

Many things cancelled because of this virus.  We have to get use to a new normal as we miss out on many things.

Summer is my favorite season but to me it's the shortest because I never want it to end.
