At 5:26 Pacific Daylight Time this morning, the Sun reached (from our Earthbound perspective) its northernmost position, and started its journey south.
I hope you had a happy Midsummer’s Day, and wish you pleasant Midsummer Night’s dreams.

Isn’t it the beginning of summer, not “Midsummer”?
Actually, Johannistag or Midsummer’s day is celebrated about now http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittsommerfest

The idea is that “summer” is centered on the longest day instead of following it, which actually makes more sense to me. Midaugust feels like fall is starting, doesn’t it? Isn’t Labor Day really the beginning of the city season/end of summer?
