This is a so called CAST. For example:

test=# select now();
now
-------------------------------
2006-11-10 16:19:49.543082+01
(1 row)

test=# select now()::date;
now
------------
2006-11-10
(1 row)

BETWEEN includes the boundaries, if you have full days so say something
like 'between first_day and last_day'.

Do you need time-boundaries? Rewrite your query to something like
'where time_column > time_1 and time_column < time_2'
