When you've had topsoil piles in your used-to-be-garden for 2 years, and they finally get leveled out! 👏
When you can finally grow your own strawberries (thanks to the cages that keep deer & rabbits out)! Last year's Mother's Day gift that will keep on giving.
When you go to the cabin with family for a weekend and your cool, nerdy SIL not only brings a microscope so you can look at all kinds of fascinating things you've never seen before but she knows what they are...
...and you get to attend the youngest nephew's baby dedication because you just happen to be in the right place at the right time.
When you go to a church ballgame and feel miserable because it's "freezing"! In June?!
(But then a week later there is a heat wave that is miserable in the reverse.)
This is typical summertime in the Midwest!
When you take your grands to the local animal conservation park -again.
The cheetahs and painted dogs are their favorite every time.
When the café [where Arianna works] has a strawberry refresher and it's sweltering hot outside...😋Sunsets in the summer are just the best!
Wild black raspberries are another summer treat.
When your subscription box comes from Israel and the theme is the Dead Sea. 😍
These little bits & pieces sustain me until we can visit the Holy Lands in person; tentatively scheduled for February but I'm not "holding my breath".
June = the grandkids' VBS program is always fun.
When the neighbors set off a bunch of fireworks on the hill behind your house, so you get a free show...What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.
