I Am This Woman

(25 of 50)

June is my favorite month of all. Not just because my birthday is in the middle of the month, but because it’s usually the beginning of summer holiday, it’s warm and sunny (or stormy) but never cold. Rarely is it cold. (I know it’s cold int he mountains and elsewhere in June, even snowy at elevation, but that’s not where I live.) I do NOT like cold, esp. not in June.

June tastes like fresh peach ice cream. Like key lime pie. Like hot dogs with relish and mustard.

June smells like green lawns, sweat and sunscreen. June sounds like the South, bugs buzzing, birds and squirrels chittering.

June has soft, short nights with quiet clouds blowing around the sky while the moon peeks down.

For me, June is all too short but oh so sweet.
