Happy June! My favorite part about June is the fact the lupines finally come out. I adore lupines. My favorite thing to do is to drive around and admire the lupines around town. One of my favorite childhood books is Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. One reason why I love this story is because it is true. The book was later transformed into a movie.

Here is the back of the book description:
As a child, Miss Rumphius dreams of traveling to faraway places. Her grandfather assures her that this is possible, but also advises her to do something to make the world more beautiful. As an old lady, Miss Rumphius returns to her home by the sea, but realizes she has yet to fulfill her grandfather's wish. Inspired by her garden, Miss Rumphius creates a world of loveliness for those who live nearby.
There are so many great underlying lessons in this book. Not to mention, the illustrations are amazing. I highly suggest a read even though it is a childrens book.
Here are some pictures from the book:
