June

Jabbering birds flock
as porch swings rock.
Unassuming fireflies prance
as june bugs dance.
Now that spring is done
and summer has begun,
Evening stays
as daylight plays.

  2. I agree...seems that June represents a slower pace and it isn't as hot as late in the summer...still enjoyable...you know. :)

  7. in this family, June is birthday month - my brother, Nina, John, Jimmy, Baby E and Amanda,

    Both grandbabies will be here tomorrow and they will be getting your new favorite pancake recipe, theirs will be tiny bite size ones.
    It was too hot here to eat much supper so I am really looking forward to pancakes in the cooler morning too.

  8. Rhonda ~ wow, that's a lot of birthdays! And did you see I froze those leftover pancakes? We had them Sunday. Brunch was never so easy! :) Hope you like the recipe!

  9. Yes I was looking forward to summer but it is already in the 90s here. I hate to think about July and Aug. Maybe it will mellow out. The landscape is sure lush though. Our lawn worker is way behind and you can tell it. LOL can hardly see the birds in the yard the grass is so high.

  16. Yes things get more slow
    Yet it starts to get hot in my hole don't you know
    But it is enjoyable none the less
    Until the heat wave comes with its mess
    But anything beats the snow
    Plus it's warm so less socks you need to fold and wash as you can go out with a bare toe..lol

  17. Pat ~ well, look at you being all cheery and lemonadish. :) You're right...less laundry! Less socks is particularly wonderful as I hate matching them. ha.

  20. My eldest daughter, who is 55 today, got us a birdhouse something like this except it is for Christmas and was meant to be used but we got it setting on top of a flat surface somewhere.

    We have been roasting in May. June offers more of the same where we live. Something is out of whack...

    These are the hotdogs you saw on the grill. We think they are the best in the world. lol
