What a fun, happy month to think about.  Time for summer to begin on the 21st. A memorable month for many families who are celebrating weddings and summer parties.  Children are on summer vacation, which adds to the volume of them enjoying the local water parks.  This is the month during which most weddings take place. Love and romance float among us throughout the whole month.   June, being named after the goddess Juno - patroness of marriage and the well-being of women, signifies why so many weddings take place in the month.  The rose is the official flower noted for the month of June.

World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 which began on June 5th. This day focuses on wildlife conservation, climate change, or our vital connection to nature.  It commemorates the start of the landmark 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden.


Flag Day is celebrated on June 14th.  The most important thing to remember about this holiday is how we are to behave around a flag.  We are to stand at attention when a flag is passing by, being hoisted or lowered. It should be displayed on all days but especially on  New Year's Day, Inauguration Day, Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Easter Sunday, Mother's Day's, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Constitution Day, Columbus Day, Navy Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Father's Day is on June 17th this year.  Credit is given to Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington to create a holiday to honor fathers.  Her own father, William Smart, was a farmer who raised her and her 5 younger brothers after their mother died giving birth to the last child.  He had been a Civil war veteran.


On June 28th, we have a Full Moon.  The earth will be directly located between the Sun and the Moon.  The lunar hemisphere facing the Earth will be completely sunlit and appear as a circular disk, while the far side is dark.
