We Love June in Boston!

June is often the most gentle and gracious time of year in Boston. I really enjoy being here this month. This valentine to June in our adopted hometown was inspired by a conversation over on Trip Advisor. The crew there were collecting things that were happening during the month. My two cents worth was to let everyone know why Ed and I think June in Boston is so special.

Most of the graduations are over. Just UMass Boston on June 1st and MIT on the 8th remain. Then, the locals and smartest of visitors have the city to themselves.

The greenery is glowing. The city seems to take a deep breath and relax. There is just something special about this lull before the July 4th activity that makes it a sweeter place.

It's a month to picnic and sit and read by the river. The weather is often the most comfortable of the year. Don't get me wrong. I love the rest of the year too, but June is special.

    It’s true: This is a beautiful time to be in town! I was lucky enough to get to spend last night and much of today there, and was reminded how much I miss that late-spring morning glint off the Charles when I’m running, or the crush of happy Sox fans before a gam (if not after).

    Meister,
    So happy you enjoyed the time here. I think we may have jinxed the city because we have a rainstorm coming in to sit on us for a few days now. But, we spent all day today enjoying the city too. Lunched at Coppa, shopped South End Formaggio and then to the Copley Farmers Market before walking home with lots of goodies.
    These pickles over on your site look great today. I may make some if I’m looking for a rainy day project.
