My monthly calendar

 

 This is the first time this month I've had an opportunity to share my monthly calendar.  I'll start as I always do, with the completed month, which in this case is June.

For those who want to see how boring my life truly is, here is the left side of June, 2021.

This is the right side.  I got a little carried away with the butterflies, but my life is no more glamorous this month than any in 2021 so far.

July has already been written in.  It shows a stamped bird in the countryside, so I'm also sharing this with Alison Bomber, who many of you know as Butterfly, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is Summer Countryside.   I hope everyone is having a great extended holiday today.      

 

Thanks so very much for joining me today.  Feel free to laugh at my calendar pages and my very boring life.  Bleubeard is snickering in the background.  It's a good thing you can't hear him yowl. 

 

Since my calendar is rather pitiful, I thought I would share an herb update.  These are photos I took yesterday.  

For those of you who don't visit every day, my lawn mower is in the shop waiting on a back ordered part.

My overgrown back lawn

 

looks like a disaster.  If I don't get my mower back soon, I'll need to hire someone to mow my yard.

My "grass" is nearly as tall as my basil, which has certainly gotten out of hand.

My cantaloupe (in the large pot in back with the tomato cage) has finally developed some pretty yellow flowers. My orange mint is growing strong as it does every July.

I am thrilled there's at least one squash blossom, although it appears something is attacking the leaves.

 

Frequent visitors saw how high winds broke my dill.  I put the broken end in the pot and hoped seeds would develop.  It appears they have.

That's all for today.  I hope those of you in the states have a wonderful extra day off for our extended Independence weekend.  I wish everyone else a lovely Monday.
