Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the sunshine?
Are you ready for the birds and bees, the apple trees, and a whole lot of fooling around?
Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the hot nights?
Are you ready for the fireflies, the moonlit skies, and a whole lot of fooling around?
No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks.
No more math and history, summertime has set us free!
Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the good times?
Are you ready for some summer fun, in the sun? The summer is ready for you!
-Elmer Bernstein from the motion picture Meatballs
With Memorial Day weekend on the horizon, summer fun is, indeed, close at hand. And despite our dry, warm winter, we are feeling very much like the early 20th-century bathers pictured in this Harry Mellon Rhoads photo. Are you ready for the summer?
