Happy June!

June is my favorite month. (Most likely because it is my birthday month!) Also, the flower of June is a rose (my favorite!) and the gemstone is a pearl (also my favorite! My engagement ring was a pearl.).

June is also the gateway into summer... picnics, swimming, sunshine, ice cream (well, not so much for me this year!), watermelon, grilling, walking, beach-going, and lots of time outside.

Of course, there are also the unpleasant aspects of summer: mosquitos, weeding my garden (something I really need to do!), bee stings, sunburn, and being tired from trying to cram in too much activity.

However, overall I must say that summer in Rochester is beautiful. Sometimes muggy and HOT, but still beautiful. I look forward to this summer and hope yours is wonderful too!
