We made our last trip to the library yesterday.
During the summer, Tuesdays and Thursdays are No TV Days. We go to the movies, visit state parks, play in the pool, dig out long lost toys that at one time they just had to have, and we also go to the library. When school starts next Wednesday the boys just aren't going to have the time to read for fun. So yesterday was our last visit to the library until next summer. And I'm hoping that in between now and then, the library will accidentally lose their series of "Walter the Farting Dog" books so I will no longer be forced to read them.
For today's Poetry Friday poem, here's Branch Library by Edward Hirsch
I wish I could find that skinny, long-beaked boy
who perched in the branches of the old branch library...more
