June

How did it get so late so soon? 
Its night before its afternoon. 
December is here before its June. 
My goodness how the time has flewn. 
How did it get so late so soon?”

~  Dr. Seuss

Can you believe it?
June is here and 2014 is nearly half way over!

When I think of June, I think of summer.
When I think of summer, I think of grilling out.
Burgers and corn on the cob, anyone?
(last night's dinner :)




JUNE
~by Francis Duggan

It's beautiful, the summer month of June

When all of God's own wildflowers are in bloom



And sun shines brightly most part of the day
And butterflies o'er lush green meadows play.



Lighthearted skylark songster of the wing
High o'er the quiet and lonely moorland sing
 
source
Above her nest cloaked by the tangled heath
Her charming song so exquisitely sweet.


So mellow the gentle breath of June day breeze
The birds rejoicing on the leafy trees
And dappled trout in pool bed of the stream
Bask in the sun their spotted skins agleam.

God gave us June and all her lovely flowers
Bright sunny days and pleasant evening hours

Shady green glens and serene sunlit dells
And leafy bowers adorned with blue bluebells.


But God, June's maker has the final say
And what He gives, He also takes away

And God's own larks will trumpet in the sky
To celebrate the birthday of July.

I hope you have a fabulous first day of June!

Blessings,

  4. I enjoyed your post, lovely reminders of summer for me. It's the beginning of winter here but a beautiful day so I've been out walking - snow is threatening though so I'm told. Still how boring it would be if we didn't have the seasonal changes to look forward to.

  6. It's very hard to believe it's June. . .shouldn't it be Mach?? You have my mouth watering with the picture of your burger - how did you know burgers are among my top 5 favorite foods? :) Do you have some kind of BBQ sauce on it? Yes, I was looking at it that closely that it looked like there was a special sauce on there. Okay, moving on from the food. . .

    Your post, as always, is lovely and your photos leave me speechless with their beauty :) Have a blessed Sunday! Hugs

  9. Hi Debby! What perfect photos for each verse...the skies look so clear and sunny. Thank goodness summer is here! I am having quite a time with my allergies, but I wouldn't trade this for that darn winter we had for anything.
    My fav pic is the bird caught by you, just singing his heart out. Inspires me to do the same :)
    June Blessings to you,
    Ceil

    You will never know how much your beautiful photos of God's beautiful creation cheered my spirit today. I needed to be reminded that there is color in life, even when I am discouraged.

    GOD BLESS!
