Heading home from work yesterday, I had ole "Satchmo" and Bing cranked up singing Gone Fishin...

As I pulled into the drive and the song came to its end, I was reminded of a favorite poem by James Whitcomb Riley; Down Around the River. I also realized June is about to wrap up. The poem opens with "Noon time and June time..."
So, I figured I'll share the poem to close out June via photographs from my 1913 copy of his selected works.
How about that, June time 1913.
