Birthday of Igor Stravinsky
I like this one :)

It would be even cooler if the written music actually were those opening notes of The Firebird.
Penthesilea:
First day of summer
Does everybody have the same doodle today?
Shasta542:
No--mine is Father's Day. :) I like the summer one too!
Penthesilea:
Sevensleeper's Day
Only today I learned there is a legend in Roman Martyrology about seven sleepers. I only ever attributed the day to the animal of the same name (wich is Edible Dormouse in English, but Siebenschläfer= Sevensleeper in German).
Anyway, today is Sevensleepers Day and it's said the the weather will stay the way it is on this day for the next seven weeks.
I sure hope not. It's nicely warm, but not hot today and sun and rain alternate. I want a real, hot, sunny summer.

Interesting, Chrissi. Thanks for the explanation.
The rainy half of the doodle doesn't look very summery to me. Hopefully, you'll have seven weeks of very brief periods of rain -- just enough to keep the plants watered.
