It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.

When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.

(The Month of June)
I came across the line, “The month of leaves and roses”, just a few days ago, which I had never heard before expressed for the month of June even while being aware that it is so true…
I had never heard or seen it either until I stumbled across the poem on a gardening quote website. I dislike the heat and humidity of summer but I’m trying to focus on its gifts, among them green leaves and roses. (I promise to do a better job of feeding my rose bush this year!)
