IT’S HOT OUTSIDE!

Just a friendly reminder, as the weather heats up, please remem-

ber to take precautions to prevent dehydration and heat fatigue.

Here are a few helpful hints:

Wear a hat to shade your face

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes

Drink plenty of water

Wear sunscreen

Use bug spray

Wear light colored clothing and long sleeves to protect your

skin from the sun July Birthstone – Ruby

The word ruby comes from the

Latin word rubens, meaning “red.”

Rubies can range in color from

light raspberry to dark purple. The

Mogok rubies from Myanmar, formerly Burma, are the

most valuable and sought-after rubies because of their

color, described as pigeon-blood red. Large rubies of

good quality are very rare—and very expensive. In fact,

the ruby is the highest-priced colored gemstone.

July Flower – Larkspur

Many flowers got their names from their colors, but the

larkspur takes its from an animal. The flower’s scientific

name, delphinium, is derived from the Greek word for

dolphin, delphis. As the larkspur begins to bloom, its

petals form graceful arches and curve in a bottle-like

shape, resembling the nose

of this joyful marine

mammal. Larkspurs of all

colors are thought to

symbolize feelings of light-

ness and an open heart.

Fruits of July

This month, you’ll find a bounty of fresh

fruit in gardens, grocery stores,

and farmer’s markets near you.

Among the many juicy beauties

at the peak of ripeness in July

are apricots, cantaloupe, mangoes,

blueberries, blackberries, kiwi, raspberries,

plums, and peaches. Cucumbers,

tomatoes, and avocados (which are all

technically fruits) are especially good in

July as well.
