I adore early June in Maine.

Daytime temperatures are warm but not hot. Nights are cool and there’s no humidity. The tourists have started to arrive but haven’t yet overwhelmed the state.

But the best part of early June in Maine?

Rhododendron season. (Please note I have color coordinated my hanging baskets of geraniums… momma didn’t raise no fool)

We have two large bushes in the front of our house and they never fail to put on a show. They even have it timed so one blooms after the other for a longer burst of color.

I trimmed this one back last year and was a little worried I’d done it at the wrong time.

Clearly, I was wrong.

  4. Those are gorgeous! I’m a beginner at gardening and I’m starting small with trying to get my lawn to go green and stop crunching under my feet. I also have planted some marigolds since I was told they are easy to grow. We’ll see about that, lol.

  6. Absolutely stunning! Aww, sun, cool nights, low humidity, the views…some friends just returned from Maine, having visited family and Acadia while there. I told her how peanut butter and jealous I was! 🥰
