I just learned this evening that the summer solstice of 2016 is unusual, because it is coinciding with the full moon for the first time since 1967! They say this won't happen again until 2062. So if you get the chance, take a peek at the moon tonight.
The full moon of June is called the Strawberry Moon, because strawberries are in season right now. Sometimes it is also called the Honey Moon or the Mead Moon, because it hangs low in the sky and is yellowish in color as it is viewed through the thick, humid atmosphere.

Re: Summer Solstice
I was born in 67 and if I live to 95, I will see it 3 times.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.
