All too briskly, June has bonded toward its end and we have already arrived at the start of July. Summer moves quickly and waits for no one. That doesn’t mean I won’t try to still its march and slow its roll. Hence this post, which looks back the Junes that came before. I’m not quite ready to let go of that glorious month, and at only thirty days it feels like we owe it one more. That January gets thirty-one seems criminal if it could have been tacked on here.
June 2010: Thirteen years is a long time – revisiting this June feels remote and lovely.
June 2011: Recent Supreme Court rulings have many of us rightfully concerned about marriage equality, which means we might be going back to 2011, and before.
June 2012: Pride was all the rage in June, and happily it remains so.
June 2013: The best Junes are often those in which nothing but summer happens.
June 2014: Summer vacations and Tom Daley in a Speedo.
June 2015: Flowers and frills and more flowers.
June 2016: Summer salads and nakedness and movies.
June 2017: Sunsets, Speedos and sweet summer perfumes.
June 2018: We took this summer off, but it still had some good entries.
June 2019: Boston in the summer and days by the pool.
June 2020: Foodstuff, flowers and fluff.
June 2021: Olympic glory, dazzlers and Madonna.
June 2022: A shepherd’s pie of summer posts.
