In June the irises and peonies came and went. We picked the first strawberries, the first radishes,and the first raspberries. Last night we picked over a quart of blueberries.
In June we celebrated a birthday and honored fathers. Lavender and roses bloomed. There were cuddles and giggles with little ones. Other highlights: dinner on the patio, a visit to Butchart Gardens, tea and chocolate, the first popsicles, some rain and some tears, but mostly sunny skies and a light heart. For all these I am thankful.
Joining Cheryl with Gathering the Moments.
The perfect title for this post . . . moments gathered in one place, a gift to yourself, really, where you can come back to this spot and revel in the memories. Truly delightful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collage! Yes, you packed a lot of joy into the month. Blueberries...can't wait, but I am assuming that like everything this year, they'll be a little late. On to July!
ReplyDeleteLovely collage and summary! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe June is about gone. It was a good month and July and August are going to be very busy for us. I like your collage of colour. Happy July to you.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to think that the year is going by so fast. Soon our shops will be full of Christmas gifts. Not nice.
ReplyDeleteYour collage is very lovely.
Hadn't thought about the year being half over. Yikes, wasn't it just Christmas? It really is hard to believe how quickly time flies anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured June in a most colorful and beautiful way. I hope your July is just as nice.
June is zipping by in a flash. Somehow, several of the things that were going to be accomplished this month will be sliding into July.
ReplyDeleteYour collage captures your month beautifully, Lorrie.
What a beautiful collage...full of color and sweetness and blessing! I looked and looked at it, trying to take it all in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for "gathering" with me the moments of this lovely month of June. Recording His goodness...
P.S. Don't forget to link up! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a special June.
ReplyDeleteRealizing the year is half over and I haven't even caught my breathe from the rush through the year, oh my! How can I breath when so much time moves oh so quickly and I want to cram more into my days.
Yes............ I soooo get this! Once July 4 hits.......summer is over. It's a whirlwind! I want to slow down time.... and it is all about relishing the moment. Enjoy this week.... (July 4 is obviously a pivotal time in the U.S..... I forget you are in Canada! ha)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it with us. i am amazed too, that the year is half over and yet I look forward to the rest of the year!

A lovely June Lorrie. This time in six months Christmas will be over!! Where is the year going! xx
ReplyDeleteJune did rush by, and you do well to remember it. I spent the month preparing for a family reunion. July will be quiet by comparison.
