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

that makes saying goodbye
so hard."

    I always hate to say goodbye to June, too. The little insect is obviously hesitant to leave his perch as well. The scenes from your garden are beautiful; this has to be a peaceful retreat for you.

    Your garden is a delight! Such glorious plants and places to see. It is sad to see June go for now we know the heat of summer is upon us.

    I love my garden, Rose. It's me painting with plants. I walk in the morning and again each evening, checking 'the good and the bad'.

    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 ...
