Columbus, OH

With the arrival of summer, we remember the different rhythms of the long ago....or maybe of just last summer. In the middle of the pandemic summer was less invitational. This summer beckons us, carefully, to what we have known and loved about the season.

Here's a poem by John Updike for this day:

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.
