5 Reasons I love June so much
1. It means summer is officially here! The snow is gone, except for maybe atop Jay Peak and the flowers are blooming, I can begin to weed in earnest, my many many flower gardens. I can choose new perennials to plant and think about different ideas for my annual planters as well. The grass is growing and will need to be mowed and I so enjoy the peacefulness of my beautiful yard.
2. I get more excercise, it's the start of the year where we can get out and walk and bike ride. We live very near a local bike path and it's a great ride along the lake and the other way is shorter, but surrounded by open hay fields and trees and a trickling brook.
3. I sleep better at night, the days are longer, I'm more active during the day and at night when dusk comes, I change into my nightgown, go upstairs to my quiet darkened room, turn the TV on for background noise and read or look at catalogs I've received in the mail until I fall blissfully asleep under my ceiling fan.
4. I eat WAY healthier. There are fresh fruits and vegetables more readily available from local growers and farmers markets and into July, after planting our own garden, will come our veggies that we can cook on the grill. And grilling...LOVE grilling all kinds of things!
5. The gorgeous sunsets from my front porch windows overlooking the lake. I can enjoy these just about every evening uless the weather happens to not be so nice. The sky turns purple and pink and the colors are fabulous.
