June

I've decided I love June. The tomatoes leaves are still green and everything is in the "growing" phase but now large enough to look lush. The summer thunderstorms are more frequent and the cicadas are beginning to be loud.

By July, things start to look ragged, turn brown and are generally worn out! Plus, June's flowers are some beauties - gladioli, roses, hydrangea, daylilies and dahlia. (May's are also great, by the way - peony, roses, azalea, etc.)

Some of these photos you've seen before:

Still ripening...I think someone/thing's harvesting these....hmmm

I love climbing roses

No brown to mar the perfect greens.
