June

June is a beautiful month in the Northeastern USA. The days are long, the sun is warm, and most evenings remain at a mild temperature. Children, just out of school, flock to pools and ponds and beaches.

The trees and grass are green and lush after drinking in the bountiful spring rains. Fields of clover and summer wildflowers appear. Crops and gardens sprout as farmers harvest endless acres of hay. New calves and foals race and frolic for the first time through velvet pastures. 

In the latter half of the month, the fireflies appear and cast their magic spell each day as the sun fades into the western sky. I can't imagine a more lovely place on all of the Earth.
