Time to say goodbye to June as we welcome July.

It is the second summer month after June.
There are many countries which have their Independence Day during the month of July. 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 (usually) the warmest month in the Northern Hemisphere on average. 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 larkspur and 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.
July is National Blueberry Month, so of course the recipe I am sharing reflects this fact.
Blueberry and Cinnamon Omelette
