Fun Facts For June

It's no secret that Starbuck's is my favorite coffee, but there is another coffee that I have whenever I run out of my Starbuck's, or just for a change from time to time.....Folgers!  I remember this coffee growing up, and seeing the charming red cans in many household cupboards.  The 1850 Coffee came out, and I just bought it!  Yes, it has been perfected for over 170 years! - 1850 when James A. Folger first started crafting coffee.

The jingle that became one of the most well known still makes me smile when I hear it.

"The Best Part of Wakin' Up is Folgers in Your Cup."

The California Quail.  I share him every now and then, cause he's a funny bird to me.  I never saw them living up north, but they are abundant in the mountains, and visit me every single day.  I believe this is a female.  Females are a plainer brown and don't have the black face with bold white stripes that the male has.

This is the male.  Quails spend most of their time on the ground.  They usually travel in groups called coveys.  This delightful bird has had roles in several Walt Disney movies, including Bambi.

Mount Shasta.  I can see it clearly when I drive down the road.  About three weeks ago, it was the most pretty sight, as it still had snow on it and mist.  Elevation is 14, 179.  It is considered a sacred mountain to the Native Americans, and the local Karuk tribe called it "White Mountain."

My flowering plant.  I love to see it in full bloom every Spring.  I don't know for a fact what the name of the flowering plant is - I had a blog friend once share what she thought it was, so maybe you could tell me what you think.  Nevertheless, it really is a lovely bush, and when I go out early in the morning to water it, I see the hummingbird hover around it.  I heard they love the sound of water trickling.

 And the last fun fact is Mia started pre-school!  I just love her rainbow dress and polka dot shoes.

And Francesca's last day of pre-school.  She so reminds me of a little Jess.

Have a good week, and I hope you learn some fun facts about the things you love.  Here's the red vintage coffee can that stocked many cupboards when I was growing up.

I wanted to keep the 1850 bag, but it ripped, so I picked up another one.  ; )
