With injera, some dips and salads, a stew (or pasta), and fresh cheese, youâll have an ideal Ethiopian-inspired meal. Just make sure to leave room for dessert, which typically is sweetened Ethiopian coffeeâprobably the countryâs best-known exportâand a slice of fresh fruit.
Modern thinking that the Summer Solstice is the first day of Summer is simply wrong. Traditionally, the 1st of May has been considered the first day of Summer, hence the Maypole celebrations, when the last vestiges of Winter were bade farewell, and the planting and growth time had returned.
When does the summer officially begin and end in the US? Summer begins each year on the day of the summer solstice, which is  on or near June 21 and ends each year on the day of the autumnal  equinox, which is on or near Septemberâ¦ 22.
