June

(June 2, 2011)
"June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill."

How true are these Oscar Hammerstein lyrics from the musical production "Carousel." Gentle rains are falling, trees are leafing and flowers are blooming.

June is also a special month for me. My late mom's birthday is today as well as my parents' wedding anniversary. Also, five of my 13 grandchildren have June birthdays and another is on the way very soon, so he too will celebrate his birthday this month.
