The Nature Table: June
Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 9:51 PM 
It’s summer! And, despite the deeply depressing weather, there’s abundance all about. The fields are vibrant with buttercups; the lanes are scented with elderflowers; the paths meander through waving grasses; and as for the moors…
It’s strange. I never associate the moors with wild flowers; yet yesterday I couldn’t walk but tread on them. Masses of them! Ox-eye daisies and red clover; bird’s foot trefoil and dandelions; cow parsley and foxgloves. As well as several others I couldn’t name.
The frequent showers of the last few weeks have brought out the slugs and snails, so they’ve crept onto my virtual table, too. Which makes it pretty crowded. But then it is June.

I love the wild mish-mash of June--sun & showers, grass & flowers, insects & creatures...everyone's out to join the party! I love this time of year... Happy Summer, Helen :o) ((HUGS))
