June, and everything’s coming up roses—not to mention strawberries. (If you live in warm climates, you’re already enjoying both!) Picking strawberries? Leave the stems on and get them to the refrigerator fast to increase their longevity. If fresh berries abound, try making this classic Strawberry Shortcake for an easy summer dessert. June Weather Lore • When pigs carry sticks, the clouds will play tricks. • If the birds be silent, expect thunder. • When spiders’ webs in air do fly, The spell will soon be very dry. • When sheep collect and huddle, tomorrow will become a puddle. • When the glowworm lights her lamp, the air is always very damp. • Bats flying late in the evening indicates fair weather. Finally, in this month of weddings, a reminder: If you sleep with a piece of wedding cake under your pillow, your dreams will come true. It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes, And pleasant scents, the noses.
