FAREWELL JUNE ... "SAYING GOODBYE ~ SO HARD"

that makes saying goodbye

so hard."

I found my own."

Thanks Marysol. Collages are fun and give a good perspective of what is happy each week/month.

May and June are my favorite months in the garden, Beckie. July shouts and August begins to become 'bittersweet'.

Fun to find fitting quotes, Brenda. These seemed perfect to bid farewell to lovely June.

Thanks dear Cat. I can think of nothing lovelier than walking my garden with you ;) Perhaps someday ...; Wednesday, July 02, 2008
