...ABC Wednesday J

JUNE – sometimes called the 'Rose month'.

This week started with white and ends with black...and some colourful JUNE in between.

The white, it has been snowing again here in Stockholm Sweden and as I’m boycotting the big white in my blogs for this season I’m not going to show you some lovely wintery ‘black and white’ish pictures of the greenhouse instead I give you J for June, much nicer, much brighter and in full colour.

June in the greenhouse and the livin' is easy in Tyra's garden.

At the start of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Taurus; at the end of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Gemini. However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, June begins with the sun in the astrological sign of Gemini, and ends with the sun in the astrological sign of Cancer. June is the month with the longest daylight hours of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest daylight hours of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Wikipedia- june
