The other day, caused by the Senior Pops concert, Carole and I only got back to the bakery after it closed. Much to our surprise there were 6 cars parked in front. Carole said, "What is going on?" A couple of the people were getting out of their car with their camera phones pointed at the sky. As we followed that trajectory we saw the most beautiful rainbow I can remember. Such is the weather in June.

           June is also the month when we get fresh blueberries. I remember as a youth we couldn't wait for a shopping trip to Riverhead. Such a trip meant passing the old lady's farm stand in Calverton and getting some just picked blueberries. If she wasn't busy and her mood just right, she would invite us in the back to her bushes to pick our own. I can still feel the bright sun on my shoulders, but not as hot as in July, and the blueberries almost warm to the touch. The plump ones did not make it to the basket, but burst into your mouth, the warm juice running through your teeth.

            This memory inspires the Sweet Treat Specials for the month of June. We will have a fresh blueberry cake and a whole wheat blueberry muffin. My first bite reminded me of those Junes long past.

            June is the month of Graduation celebrations. Many of our young people will be leaving Huntington in the fall for the next chapter in their lives. Congratulations to all of them. Please remember where you came from. It will be interesting for you to compare the place you are going to our town. I think Huntington will stack up very nicely.

 Please enjoy your days,
