Let's Welcome August 2024
August
by Annette Wynne
August days are hot and still,
Not a breath on house or hill,
Not a breath on height or plain,
Weary travelers cry for rain;
But the children quickly find
A shady place quite to their mind;
And there all quietly they stay,
Until the sun has gone away,—
August is too hot for play!

The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. June 19, 1865 Black Independence Day
Welcome June 2024 June June, a month of golden days, Where summer's warmth begins to blaze. With skies of blue and sun-kissed air, June whispers secrets everywhere. In fields of green and blooming flowers, June paints the world with vibrant powers. Each petal dances in the breeze, A celebration of life's ease. With every dawn, a promise anew, In June's embrace, dreams come true. A time for adventure, for love, for play, As June guides us along our way. In June's light, memories are made, In laughter shared and joys displayed. A tapestry of moments, rich and bright, In June's embrace, we find delight. So let us cherish June's sweet song, And let its melodies carry us along. For in its midst, we find the key, To unlock the door to destiny. by Vinaya Joseph of
Welcome May 2024 is O the month of May, the merry month of May, So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green! O, and then did I unto my true love say: "Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my summer's queen! Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale, The sweetest singer in all the forest's choir, Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true love's tale; Lo, yonder she sitteth, her breast against a brier. The Merry Month of May" is a poem by Thomas Dekker But O, I spy the cuckoo, the cuckoo, the cuckoo; See where she sitteth: come away, my joy; Come away, I prithee: I do not like the cuckoo Should sing where my Peggy and I kiss and toy."
🪴Welcome💐April 2024🪴 A Song for April List! list! The buds confer. This noonday they've had news of her; The south bank has had views of her; The thorn shall exact his dues of her; The willows adream By the freshet stream Shall ask what boon they choose of her. Up! up! The world's astir; The would-be green has word of her; Root and germ have heard of her, Coming to break Their sleep and wake Their hearts with every bird of her. See! see! How swift concur Sun, wind, and rain at the name of her, A-wondering what became of her; The fields flower at the flame of her; The glad air sings With dancing wings And the silvery shrill acclaim of her. by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts
🌼Perpetual Spring Gardens are also good places to sulk. You pass beds of spiky voodoo lilies and trip over the roots of a sweet gum tree, in search of medieval plants whose leaves, when they drop off turn into birds if they fall on land, and colored carp if they plop into water. Suddenly the archetypal human desire for peace with every other species wells up in you. The lion and the lamb cuddling up. The snake and the snail, kissing. Even the prick of the thistle, queen of the weeds, revives your secret belief in perpetual spring, your faith that for every hurt there is a leaf to cure it. by Amy Gerstler

🤎Welcome February 2024🤎 February holds a secret charm, As winter’s grip begins to disarm. Hints of green beneath the white, Promise of spring, a delightful sight. Birds return with cheerful songs, In February’s days, where they belong. Sunshine peeks through cloudy skies, Warming hearts, opening eyes. Buds awaken in sleepy groves, Telling tales of springtime’s troves. In February’s subtle shift, The promise of spring, nature’s 🎁 gift.
🎅A Sledding Song 🦌🛷 Sing a song of winter, Of frosty clouds in air! Sing a song of snowflakes Falling everywhere. Sing a song of winter! Sing a song of sleds! Sing a song of tumbling Over heels and heads. Up and down a hillside When the moon is bright, Sledding is a tiptop Wintertime delight. By Norman C. Schlichter
