midsummer's
Longest day's time
Midsummer's is the possessive form of midsummer, referring to things belonging to or associated with the middle of summer.
The word appears most famously in Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream*, where midsummer's magic transforms the ordinary into the fantastical.
Midsummer traditionally falls around the summer solstice in late June.
