'Tis the summer solstice, a magical time, also known as MidSummer. I've never understood why the first day of summer is called 'mid', but then there's many a mystery in my little world.
The summer solstice is called midsummer just like the winter solstice is called midwinter - because it's the midpoint between the spring and autumnal equinoxes.

ReplyDeleteThe summer and winter solstices are called "mid" because they're the midpoint between the spring and autumnal equinoxes.
ReplyDeleteI sorta reasoned that out, even before ya told me twice, but it's still a dumb name — it should be midequinox.
ReplyDelete"A Midequinox Night's Dream." Alright, it lacks a little something.
