The calendar turned over and low and behold it is June. The first day of the month celebrates the birth of my daughter, who this years turned 34, YIKES! Was reminded yesterday that it is also the birthday of a dear friend and I will always remember it's the birthday of a woman who I worked with at Special Olympics and her name is June. Some things you don't forget.
It is also the month of grade school I'll always remember as I have fond memories of hanging out on the stoop with kids from the neighborhood 'til dark, around 8:45. Walks to school in June came with wonderful scents of red roses that grew wildly on the corner of Logan and Lafayette Ave. The honey suckle vines would also be in bloom and we loved taking the flower and sucking on the stem. Fro the 2-3 weeks before school let out, the nuns would get gifts of red roses wrapped in tin foil, hand picked from the neighbors gardens.
The warm weather begins to be an everyday occurrence and the flowers in the yard are fragrant and lush.
I always thought October to be my favorite month but June seems to make a strong case for Month of the Month.
