Welcome July 2024

As we say goodbye to June it's time to say hello to July.

Yes, the seventh month of the year is here!
2024 seems to be flying by so quickly!

July
Is the second summer month after June, (in the Northern Hemisphere).

July (on average) is the warmest month in the Northern Hemisphere. It is similar to January in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sometimes the hot, long days of July are called the "dog days of summer".

It is sometimes called the Hay month because the grass dries out due to a lack of rain and can be made into hay.

July's birthstone, the ruby, is often associated with contentment, love, passion, and integrity.

July's birth flowers are the Larkspur or Water Lily.

There are two star signs which fall in the month of July. If you are born before July 22nd, then your star sign is Cancer. If you are born after this day, from July 23rd onward, then you’re a Leo. Those born under the sign of Cancer are said to be loyal friends with great emotional depth, and those born under the sign of Leo are said to be very proud people who display great leadership.

During July there are many countries which have their Independence Day. These include the United States, Belarus, Venezuela, Argentina, Belgium, the Bahamas, and the Maldives. The national days for France and Canada occur in July as well.

July is National Blueberry Month, so of course the recipe I am sharing reflects this fact.

July won't have to work very hard to be the warmest month this year. I really like the blueberry and raspberry 'wreath'.
