And since today also officially signals the start of summer, here's an old classic poem from Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden Of Verses" - this one specifically came from "A Big Golden Book" version, first published by Golden Press in 1951, and illustrated by the fabulous Alice and Martin Provensen.
Bed In Summer:
When they would like so much to play, do they have to go to bed "by day"?
Just wondering.......
Here's hoping everybody has a wonderful summer, whether it's really hot where you are, or not!

Happy Father's Day and happy Summer to you to! Thanks for reminding me if that poem, I love it. Love T
I also love that poem. However, RLS's 'day time' bed going was inevitable because he grew up in Scotland where it stays light until 11 - 12 pm in the summer. I felt so badly for him as a child, when I hated being inside before it grew dark but the latest it gets dark here is about 8:30.
I have heard that poem before-- very nice. Cute Father's Day card too. All I've been hearing since school let out is, "Can I stay up as late as I want?"
