The sun is rich
and gladly pays
In golden hours
Silver days
And long green weeks
That never end
School's out
The time is ours to spend
There's Little League
Hopscotch, the creek,
And after supper
Hide and seek
The live-long light
Is like a dream
And freckles come
Like flies to cream
*Poem from the book "A Child's Calendar" written by John Updike*
I absolutely love all of the poems from this book. I can relate to every one of them! Each month, starting in January, I have posted his monthly poems from the book, but never did get around to posting April and May {will have to do those next year} Anyhow, I'm back on track and I hope you enjoyed "June".
I was never a big Updike fan, until you added your photos! Great shots! I especially the hand in the water. Thanks for doing something different.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I think your kids must have the best life ever. I wish I was there with them down at the stream. The boys of summer!
ReplyDeleteFun memories they are making!! That's a great creek right near your house!! Hope they are enjoying their summer vacation. Do they play little league?
