June has a particular feeling of almost-summer: tall grasses, the hedgerows heavy, full and green, evenings that seem to go on and on. The children are often half in the house, and half out of it, trailing in grass, muddy knees, sticky fingers, and pockets full of treasures.
June can also bring a sense of loosening: the school year year is not quite finished, summer has not quite begun, and everything can feel a little unraveled at the edges. Home life may become simpler and less polished; meals move towards bread, fruit, eggs, salad, and whatever can be eaten outside. There is beauty in it, but also tiredness, and he end of a long season often asks for our steadiness more than our sparkle.
So I’ve made a small gift for you: a simple one-page June Joy sheet. It’s not a plan, a challenge, or another thing for you to keep up with, just a little encouragement for these long, green days. You needn’t use it perfectly. Pin it to the fridge, tuck it into your diary, or read the blessing aloud while the kettle boils.
