“Green was the silence, wet was the light the month of June trembled like a butterfly.” ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets June is an amazing time of year as the sun shines a little warmer, & for a little longer. The rain kisses the earth, & from those kisses beautiful plants now grow. They add a special touch to the landscape with all their colors. They come in all forms, from native plants to human planted. Gardens are planted, & farms are seeded. Young calves run over the landscape. Their cute beauty bringing a sense of youthfulness to the fresh green landscape. As you travel the back roads you can see them out enjoying the pasture as they run. The face on them that I can't help but fall in love with every time I see them. Along with the renewed landscape the beautiful Saskatchewan Skies begin to paint the skyscape with a whole new set of colors. The clouds hang heavy with rains that bring all the color, and make the landscape sparkle with a fragile beauty. Summer in Saskatchewan also shows the fragile beauty if your keep your eyes peeled for the little fluttering beauties. Butterflies arrive in June in full swing to remind us all how fragile the season's beauty can be as it flies out of our life as quickly as it flies in. Butterflies come in all kinds, & enjoy all kinds of flowers. June in Saskatchewan is the gentle month in between spring & summer. A space where it is warm & colorful enough to get us excited for the upcoming summer. June brings all the summer colors, & extended days. With its storm clouds & long days it gives us many Living Skies to appreciate. It's fresh leaves, wet with warm spring rain, gets us excited for summer that is to come into full bloom soon.
If I had a second favorite month June would take my heart. As it is a time that reminds me to get out there and appreciate all the new, reborn, beauty that Saskatchewan holds after a long winter. Mother Nature is kind enough to give us some extra-long days to enjoy it in, between the rain.
