I love the end of school and the glory of gardens in May!
May means celebrating my husband’s birthday, getting to see my daughter in her performances, the end of school, and getting her back for the summer! It’s also the last gasp of reasonable weather before the 100+ days (and sometime nights) begin for the next four months.
Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo, Mothers’ Day, spring flowers, end of the year class party, last day of school and Memorial Day Picnic!!!! There are too many great things about May to choose one!
Planting seeds in the garden and the anticipation of what they will become.
The gorgeous weather here in North Carolina!
Here in Rochester NY, we have a fabulous Lilac Festival every May! Look forward to the park smelling deliciously like lilacs all the time 🙂
Ahh, the month of May. The month of promise. I love the little green beginnings of a plant peeking out of the garden. They promise me beauty. They promise me scent. They promise me time. I always take the time to enjoy what May has to offer.
Mothers Day. I love that May with all its sunshine and budding glory gives us the chance to celebrate mothers of all kinds. How fantastic that the month of May that births new weather and life outdoors takes the time to pay homage to the incredible women that give birth to new life with their bodies and hearts (biological & adoptive). Here’s to May and it’s incredible women.
May means we are in the home stretch for the end of school:)
Favorite thing about May? Warm sunshine and watching the grass turn green. The smell of spring!
I love the scent of the outdoors in May. Also, a much lower heating bill!
May is my FAVORITE.. mothers day and my birthday all in one month. Let the celebrating begin. My hubby dreads this month, the pressure :), but I love it.
My babies will be home for the summer, let the fun begin!!!
This May I love that my son is graduating from High School & it’s usually great weather this month in NC!
May is my hubby’s birthday month! Yea!
My favorite thing about May is that my peonies always bloom for my birthday on the 13th!
May brings with it the sweet smell of everything fresh and the blooming colors of flowers and grass. Such a wonderful reminder of how great our God is.
I <3 May because it means hubby and kiddos are almost done with school and our household can embrace the summertime pace.
My favorite day in May is the 14th, my son’s birthday. It’s even sweeter when it happens on Mother’s Day.
In Minnesota, the month of May usually brings the wildflowers—Marsh Marigolds (we called them cowslips)—violets, Lady Slippers, and Trilliums, to mention just a few. I loved picking these and bringing to my Mom, and when my Children were small I introduced them to the wildflowers. Now, my Grandchildren bring them to me!!
May means my husband is done with seminary and we can have fun as a family again!
What I love about May is being able to sit out on the back porch in the evening and not worry about mosquitoes, heat, or anything, really….Summer’s coming!
Wonderful giveaway! I love her site!
