What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade. ~Gertrude Jekyll
Today's Joy: June & Indigo Flowers.
Happy Thursday, Reader. While perusing some of the flower photos I haven't gotten around to posting yet, I came across these three beauties. There's something so blue & white and summery about them. Each year, I love rediscovering the traditions of early summer. The feel of a sundress, that first pitcher of iced tea, wearing sandals to the first wedding of the season. Now that it's June and wedding season is in full swing, I am enjoying helping Aunt gather flowers, candleholders and glass hurricanes for her friend's upcoming wedding.
It's no wonder so many people tie the knot this time of year. There's something almost perfect about June, when the cool, late spring weather lingers and everything is still lush and bursting with green. Only a few weeks now until the heat of summer sets in and I'll be longing for 70-degree afternoons. But, there's no time to worry about that when we could be out having a picnic under an Oak tree. Perhaps this dreamy, cool beauty is what the Garden of Eden was like.
What's your favorite early summer tradition, Reader? What renews your spirit this time of year?
If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance. ~Bern Williams
Daisies.
In June, as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them. ~Aldo Leopold
