"Each year on June 12th, people in the United States recognize National Red Rose Day. Today honors the flower that is a symbol of love and romance, the red rose. The rose is also the June birth flower. Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice that, over the years, the red rose became known as a symbol of love and romance. The tradition of giving red roses as the strongest message of love is still practiced today. Red roses offer more than the message of love. They are also known for their fragrance and are cultivated for perfumes as well as brewing healing teas. Furthermore, roses come in a wide variety of cultivars. From low-growing shrubs with dainty blossoms to long-stemmed robust plants, roses offer deep scarlets and bright berry-colored reds. In June, red roses are in bloom in flower gardens across the United States, and their beauty and sweet scent fill the air with happiness."
My notes: I love the smell of roses & have some rose hydrosol I use daily. We do have rose bushes but while I like the flowers, I do not care for their finickiness. I transplanted them near our woods & they are still striving. Just out of our way now lol

Roses smell wonderful and red roses are perfect for symbolizing True Love. They come in many colors and each one can have a different meaning.
I've tried a few rose hydrosols, too; some are a little strong, but I've found one that I really like now.
Yep, they ARE beautiful...but watch out for those prickly thorns:-)

"Baking up some goodness on June 12th each year, National Peanut Butter Cookie Day celebrates the only cookie holiday in June. The day allows cookie lovers and peanut butter lovers to step away from the pies and cakes to indulge in a little peanut butter and cookie therapy.
Alabama’s American agricultural extension educator, George Washington Carver, promoted the peanut extensively. Well-known for his promotions, Carver compiled 105 peanut recipes from various cookbooks, agricultural bulletins, and other sources. In 1916, he created a Research Bulletin called How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption. The bulletin included three recipes calling for crushed or chopped peanuts as one of its ingredients. However, peanut butter cookies were not one of them."
My notes: I have always loved peanut butter cookies! What about you?

"Every year on June 12th, falafel lovers come together to celebrate International Falafel Day. It’s also a day to encourage people who have never eaten falafel to give it a try. For those who don’t know what it is, falafel is a deep-fried ball made from ground chickpeas. It can also be flat or a doughnut-shaped patty. Falafel is sometimes also made with fava beans. Other ingredients might include onions and spices, such as cumin or coriander. Some people eat Falafel on its own while others stuff it inside a pita and eat it as a wrap. Because falafel doesn’t contain any meat or dairy, the food is a favorite among vegetarians and vegans."
My notes: I've tried falafel but the one place wasn't that good. Another place was a lot better so if you find you don't care for it, at least try it at another restaurant. Do you like it?

It doesn't sound all that inviting, and I'd give it a try at least once.

If it's set in front of me, I can eat a little of it....but, I'm not a fan.
