Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Dr. Seuss is one of my all-time favorite authors. Always has been...but even more so since I watched my daughter learn to read with Dr. Seuss books. She loves, as an activity in the car, to make up Seuss-like stories. I'm guessing Baby R might too, someday since we read Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go! to her in utero.

Probably no surprise to many, The Lorax is my favorite. But, really, I love so many. What's your favorite?

The Month of June

In keeping with tradition, here's John Updike's take on June. 

June

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.
