I have always loved this painting although I only recently learned the name of it. It has nothing to do with my remembrances of June when I was young but it is so rich and color saturated, it is overwhelming.
When I was a kid in school, May was always very hot and we sweated in our seats, wanting to be out of school and out in the sun. Then we got out in June and June Gloom hit. It would be cold and overcast every morning. I would roller skate to the local Natatorium to swim, freezing my garbonzos off both ways. Only coming home, I was wet too. Then in the afternoon, the sun would finally come out and warm everything. That made it better.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!Monday

I forgot to write a column until 5 minutes ago. Sorry this is so short, but then maybe it is a relief not to have too much to consider. Welcome to June, may it be sweet and saturated with color and light.
