Summer, friendship, birthdays and flowers...

June is all that and more to me. I guess everybody feels this way, there is something special about the month that you celebrate your birthday.

I tried to pretend for a few days that my birthday doesnt matter, i'm too old to celebrate and all that blah... But i realized i was lying to myself. My birthday does matter a lot to me. And i am really grateful to all the people in my life who made the effort to remember and wish me well. And I also cannot accept the fact that not a single person at my workplace wished me. Ok, so they say work is all about business, and you should not take it personally, but i am still a little surprised. Ofcourse, over the next few days, it somehow slipped out and i got a couple of belated birthday wishes, which is, i guess all that i can hope for in the place that i spend 12 hours a day, 5 days a week at.

My parent's wedding anniversary, my mom's birthday, and my baby sister's birthday are also in June. Growing up, this is why i loved june, there were parties and celebrations every single week. I miss all that now, but the wonderful weather more than makes up for it.
To celebrate my favorite month, I decorated my dining table with the centerpiece in the picture. The gorgeous blue glass bowl is a birthday gift from my best friend. It is perfect for displaying cuts of small delicate short stemmed flowers. The beautiful purple and yellow Nemesia flowers are from my container garden. They are long lasting, and have a faint, almost jasmine like fragrance.
