And Then The Day Came. . .




Is June the happiest month on the calendar? Is it the country-est? The most cottagey? Did your heart leap just because it's the first of June? It might only be the school girl in me, but I got as happy as gladiolas at its arrival!





 My recent bouquet has lasted and lasted. And I can't resist the urge to take its picture again at the end. Fragile and fading flowers hold such poetry for me, even if they're a little melancholy amidst the summer celebration.









The "sword plant".









Delicate delphinium.
 (Ooops these are not delphinium as I have posted all week--They're larkspurs!--But maybe you knew that!)





Turning a new page on the calendar. . .





The last of the stocks.

















Glad, glad, glads!




I listen to the forties station on satellite radio,
 so I really did hear "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" today!
A happy day in June to you, my friends!

  1. The delicate pink of the blooms looks so lovely against your white!
    I love the month of June... just not the humidity that comes with it!
    I also LOVE your French Script Tablescape.

  3. Does June really evoke that type of emotion in people? I never thought of it really.
    June 1 of all days doesn't evoke happiness for me...
    I should give it thought as to the calendar and happiness.

    Your gladiolas are beautiful. Happy June to you! Enjoy, my friend!

  7. Love the shot of the fading petals. I was attempting to take pics of fading gardenias but they did not work out but the scent was divine. My mom loved glads and I recall her staking them up as they always fell over-thanks for that memory and for your comment on thoughtful blogging.

  8. Gorgeous pink goodness!

    Funny, I used to call my Mom Gladiola - her name was Gladys. I called her Gladiola for years, she never stopped me.

    You know I need to plant them in my garden. I need to learn more about them first.

    Your metal full of petal <haha
    is awesome.

    Love your calender page.

    And I haven't heard June is Bustin' is years. I need to find that on youtube just to remember it.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Jacqueline!

  16. Your flowers look so pretty in the galvanized bucket! I've got 2 or them stored in my garage from our daughter's wedding and I need to get them into service! June is a wonderful month. My birthday month. :@

  17. Do you know I thought I was the only one who liked fading flowers. When I was in a wheelchair the friends who came in to lend a hand occasionally would often throw out my flowers without asking and it really used to upset me....so I'm glad to have found a kindred spirit ! Lovely pictures of lovely flowers beautifully portrayed. Thank you! Joan

  18. I love your photos.

    June for me is panic time - I'm in charge of 8th grade promotion - but most of all it is countdown- just 12 days until I have 2 months to do all the projects I see on pinterest and my favorite blogs.

    Enjoy your June!
