Many thanks to Rosie Hopkins for these wonderful photos for June. Great False Leopardsbane, Comfrey and Cow Parsley.

Rosie comments, “Comfrey requires some bee agility, there were all sorts of busy bees, bumble and honey.”

And it reminded us of the song from Carousel, June is bustin out all over.

Nettie:

June is bustin’ out all over,
The beaches are crowded ev’ry night.
From Penobscot to Augusty
All the boys are feelin’ lusty,
And the girls ain’t even puttin’ up a fight.

All:
Because it’s June!
June—June—June—
Jest because it’s June—June—June!

Nettie:
June is bustin’ out all over!

All:
The flowers are bustin’ from their seed!

Nettie:
And the pleasant life of Riley
That is spoken of so highly
Is the life that ev’rybody wants to lead!

All:
Because it’s June!
June—June—June—
Jest because it’s June—June—June!
