As we welcome June - did you know:-
June used to be the fourth month in the year. Before Julius Caesar came to power, the calendar year only had 10 months. In 46 BC he created the Julian calendar by adding two more months to the year, which made June the sixth month.
June was called the “sera monath” (also known as dry month) by the Anglo-Saxons.
The month of June is believed to be named after Juno the Greek goddess.
The beautiful Rose and Honeysuckle are the birth flowers of June.
If you were born in June, then you’re one of two star signs. If you were born on or before June 20th then you’re a Gemini. Gemini’s are said to be passionate, adaptable, and smart. If you’re born on or after the 21st of June, then you have the Cancer star sign. Those born under the Cancer sign are said to be loyal friends with great emotional depth.
The 5th of June is the World Environment Day, which raises awareness about our environment across the planet.
The 16th of June is Fresh veggies day.
The 16th of June is Fresh veggies day.
June 16th (in 2024) is also Father’s Day - why not treat him to a Caprese Omelette for breakfast ... it's delicious, see below
June 20th is the summer solstice, which heralds the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s the day with the most hours of daylight, so enjoy! In the Southern Hemisphere, winter begins at this time.
June is the month of the year that consists of the most daylight hours in the Northern hemisphere. In contrast, it consists of the least daylight hours in the Southern hemisphere.
Caprese Omelette
Now, here is a piece of Italy in a bite!
This omelette gives you all the flavours from a Caprese salad in a filling, but low-carb, omelette.
Just great for a sturdy breakfast, lunch or even a light dinner...
I wonder when may you serve yours?

A fascinating article and a delicious recipe! Thank you Jan and Happy Sunday!
Gostei de ler! Feliz JUNHO! Bjs,chica
I love June. A birthday in June would be a really nice time to be born and celebrate every year through life. Happy June to you both!.
How I wish we started our seasons at the solstice. It makes more sense to me than using the first day of the month in which the solstice occurs. Today for example is the first day of winter here.
Wishing you a happy June, that omelette looks tasty.

Happy June!
I didn't know all these world days!!
But the Italian recipe is also wonderful!
Have a beautiful month with health!!
I do hope June WILL be a dry month - it needs to make up for the sogginess we're had so far.
It's always interesting to read about the months you put on your blog Jan.
Looks good! Thanks for the recipe!
Happy weekend...
hugs

To June (if here way too cold).
To Summer and long days. And that omelette looks great, too!
Hard work week ahead and I wonder what to cook on Sunday so I just have to warm it up. Last week I had broccoli with chicken in coconut milk. If you have ideas for what is good for a whole week for lunch time (or to freeze - can you freeze food made in coconut milk? Seemed odd to me so I had it.. every.day.).. please share, I´m running out of ideas.
Hello Jan, a cheerful greeting goes to you. And you know, today I made an omelet with buckwheat (I grind it myself) :-)))
June 1st - Children's Day can be added straight away. And it rained here this morning, now the sun is shining its most beautiful June smile.
I wish you a wonderful month - June -
Happy June to you!
The omelette looks delicious.
Have a great weekend.
Hello Jan,
That looks very tasty again. Wonderful how you have made this.
It makes me hungry and I think I must start my lunch. Your picture is so nice.
Many greetings and have a nice day,
Marco
I always love these posts about the individual months...just wish my brain would retain more of it.
Honeysuckle and pearls -- two of my favorites. Oh, that omelet looks divine!

Wow it was good to know about June and how it is rich with many treasures
Here June is really hot but lush and beautiful month specially in northern part it is full of excitement due to pleasant weather and holiday season.
Hugs and best wishes
I knew about everything except the birthstones. I always love reading your monthly facts, Jan.
We are already hitting those summer tempts and it isn't quite officially summer yet, hope it isn't one of those terribly hot summers.
