And : I along with flowers come weddings and I graduations. For the youngsters the best , I part of June is when the schools close. ' ; June comes to us from the ancient I Romans, but we aren't sure what they I named it for. Some say it was named for ■ the Goddess Juno who was the guardian I of weddings. With some of the weddings H we've seen, a guardian is a good idea to ' I insure the bridegroom gets to the church ■ on time. I: * * * \ . ; I ^Today's eclipse will be an important I one.
