Glimpses of June

June has been a busy month, between the garden, the flowers, and the chickens {an update on them is coming soon!}. But there have also been skies that demanded to be seen, and flowers that make my heart sing. And food, oh my goodness, the food. As we indulge in our warm season favorites, I anticipate many more recipe posts in the near future. Scroll on for some glimmers of JOY and BEAUTY from the month.

The first of the baby cows was born! Such a little cutie.

Such amazing skies this month, but still not enough rain.

Corn tassels: maybe, just maybe, we will get corn.

The calendula is turning slightly pinker!

The $5 violets at Lowe’s Hardware fit perfectly in CRV cupholders,
in case anyone needed to know that tidbit of information.

Appleblossom Snapdragons.
Definitely growing these again!

Yes, I do still find eggs in places they don’t belong …

Farmer’s market tomatoes, marinated and savored.

We **made pesto** again, and can confirm:
It is excellent with grilled chicken!

Tacos for Mr’s birthday: as delicious as they were beautiful.

There’s a heat dome building this week, to start July off with a sizzle. If you’re also under the dome, I hope you are able to stay cool – and safe! Seems like a good time to play catch-up on my TBR … Especially if we get some much-needed rain.

How was your June?
Did you see dazzling sunsets or hear a good soaking rain?
May July be filled with moments of wonder and JOY, in spite of the heat.

Love this post, Rebecca. Your photos have captured all that is lovely about June. I look forward to the recipes, particularly interesting things to do with zucchini and summer squash, lol. We are sizzling hot in SE Ohio this week…

Thank you ❤
Unfortunately I'm not much help with zucchini recipes: ever since we fed it to my brother's pet iguana (like, 30 years ago), I don't eat it. That stuff is lizard food! 🤣🤣🤣
Such a sizzling hot week – you and Miss Emma stay cool!!
