A discerning eye can spot multiple Sabal Palm seed fronds sprouting, some several feet long already. They look like giant asparagus stalks. One reason this is our Florida State Tree is because freezing temperatures, drought, nor floods can kill it.

What’s one thing that’s surprised you about summer 2026?

How well all Winter’s freeze-damaged plants are coming back to tropical and colorful life.

Daily walking routes are often improvisational.

What’s a blogging challenge few, if any, know about?

Having something to say day in and day out.

Daily blog content is often improvisational.

Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, school was always one week away from being over, usually June 6, 7, or 8th.

There was no real schoolwork that last week.

The arrival of Summer always had ‘June’ written all over it.
