I am sitting in my lawn chair, soaking up a really hot sun and thinking June…What an overlooked month. Today is hotter than any of the days we had last summer. 34 or 35 Celsius out. Like, how hot is that?
We think we need to take holidays in July and August and yet – think about it! The longest day of the year is in June. The evenings can be so warm and long – there is so much daylight to enjoy. And don’t forget to start firing up the barbeque and the smoker. Some people avoid these in the winter; now it’s time for everyone to get smoking and barbequing!
The campgrounds are empty, making things nice and quiet and peaceful. They get busy when the kids get out of school. The trees are getting greener, the fish are biting and the days just keep getting longer. If you are still working and put in a holiday request – you’ll probably get to take it.
Mother Nature just gets greener and prettier each day. Flowers start blooming, birds are singing from early in the morning to later at night. The bees are visiting you – looking for nectar from your flowers. Make sure you have flowers for the bees. We need the bees. Put out your sugar water for the hummingbirds. They usually return every year to your feeder once they find it. They are fascinating to watch. How quickly those wings move. I usually hear them before I see them. That’s when you know your hearing still works!
