July by escume on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

It didn’t hit me until now, how much I’ll miss this series! It’s been such a fun, yearlong project and I can’t believe how quickly time flew by. Thanks for sticking with me. It’s been so great to hear everyone’s responses. Anyways, last but not least, JULY!

July is the seventh month of the year, though it was originally the fifth. Therefore it was first called Quintilis, though was later changed in honor of Julius Caesar’s birth month. On average, it’s the warmest month in Northern Hemisphere and the coldest in the Southern Hemisphere. There typically isn’t as much rainfall in July, though flowers and insects are abundant.

July's birthstone, the ruby, symbolizes contentment, wealth, and wisdom. Its birth flower, the larkspur (which can be poisonous), represents attachment and open heart.

National Ice Cream Month!!! Need I say more? Other July events include National Picnic Month, Parents' Day on the fourth Sunday, Cow Appreciation Day on the 15th, Hammock Day on the 22nd, and Cheesecake Day on the 30th mmm. Traits for those born in July include: honest, tactful, quiet, witty, hardworking, and fun to be with.
