When all the sky is clear and blue
by chuckofish
“In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?”– Robert Louis Stevenson, Bed in Summer
I remember this so well–going to bed when it was still light outside! The days are long in June in this flyover state!

the sun sets at 9:30 in Shelby, MI!!
In Indiana, too! I couldn’t believe it!
I remember that too! And it’s even weirder the further north you get. When I was on the north coast of Scotland in the summer it stayed light until 11 or later! That was strange.
And here the sun starts rising at 5 a.m. Zut alors! It’s a long day.
It’s the birds tweeting that wake us up. They are really noisy!
