Yes I quite agree with you, Sunflowers are so beautiful and lighten the house.
June 21 is certainly the longest day but not the one dividing the 24 hours equally between light and dark. Those days are called the ‘equinoxes’ (latin for ‘equal night’), occurring approximately on March 21 and September 21. June 21 and December 21 (shortest daylight hours) are called the ‘solstices’ (latin for ‘the sun stands’) because they mark the two times each year when the lengths of night and day temporarily stop changing. Thought you might like to know.
