15 days into my 30 days of holiday. For a teacher, that isn't what is marvelous. What is truly stunning this June is that the Sun. Has. Shown. Up.
Daily. Still not used to that concept. Supposed to be blistering hot this weekend. Time to lie in front of the nearest fan and enjoy iced pomegranate juice.
I wonder where it goes at night?
Does it sleep or does it hide?
Or is the moon its other side?
Does it hide behind the hills?
Late at night as outside chills?
Do you think it needs to rest?
From all that warming it does best?
Could it even have a home?
Maybe in London or even in Rome?
Or does it just float around?
Moving slowly from town to town?
Yes, I think it must do that!
After all the earth's not flat.
So the sun goes round and round
Spreading sunshine on the ground!

There is suuuuuuunshine today, all right!
ReplyDeleteSweltering though it is, I'm actually enjoying it, since the temperature is a brisk 52° today in Glasgow, and it's -- quelle surprise -- raining.
I am grateful.
just hit 106 here. There will be a/c in my Texas home.
