May is endings and beginnings.
I love, love, love the month of May. I dislike summer heat (fair skin, hot natured … it’s to be expected), but I love getting outside. May brings bright spring colors, the opportunity for adventures, and temperatures that are just about perfect!!
May flowers, of course
The end of school and getting my kids home for the summer!
May has the best weather! Not too hot, not too cold. Just right! Plus, the smell of fresh cut grass is always nice.
Being a mother in may means the kids get out of school for the summer and we get to do fun things for the summer and be on less of a schedule.
My favorite thing about May is the warmer temps and all the flowers that begin to bloom because of it!!
May flowers!
Well in Florida we don’t have much of a spring, but we do have some beautiful days in May before it gets super hot.
I love May because my hubby and I celebrate our anniversary in special ways. This year, we’re planning to celebrate our 35th (wow…does not seem possible!) at Disney World!
What I love about May is that it starts to really feel like Spring!
I love watching my boy play in the backyard on nice May mornings!
Our wedding anniversary, Mother’s Day , and my birthday all sprinkled through May ! =) And spring (usually) is in full swing with flowers and warm sunny weather.
May is for flowers after the April showers!
I love May because it is when it starts to REALLY warm up in Texas! My girls love May because that is when school is OUT!
One of my favorite things about May is that plant life is starting to awaken.
May for this Chicagoan is one of my favorite months! After a cold, LONG winter – the flowers are blooming, the air is warmer, the windows are open, and summer is almost here!
“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is one of my favorite hymns and I would love to win it! It tears me up every time I hear it to know that God doesn’t forsake his children and this would be a good reminder to post in my sewing studio. My favorite thing to do in May is vacation at Perdido Key with my family!
I love May because it is the start of summer!!
Beautiful weather, gardening, our anniversary, husband’s birthday, mother’s day, & this year, our son graduates from medical school! Yes indeed, the month of May is full of many blessings!
This year I love that my hard-working doctor of a husband is only in call for one week during May! Here’s to hopefully getting to spend some time with him (and for having some help with the babies!).
The earth coming back to life. Digging my hands into the dirt. Sleeping with the windows open. The sounds of the crickets by the creek. Being awakened by the birds singing. Long walks with the dog.
Warmer temps!!
May was always hard as a child. My mother’s birthday, parents wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day all packed in the first two weeks. My sister and I would run out of gift ideas and money! This is my first May since my mother passed away, and I find myself pondering what I can do to celebrate for her. A canvas would be a wonderful tribute. Maybe with lyrics from one of the songs from her funeral. “When the Roll is Called up Yonder” had us all singing along!
May is a fresh start…and tulips!
The Flowers!
We adopted our twin boys in May!
May brings my whole family together in OBX. My daughter comes home from college and my two other children, their spouses and grandson, along with my parents and a couple of friends all go to the beach for a week. It is the best time and I just love being all together, in one house, eating at the same table…fun, fellowship, family. It’s what makes my heart tick.
Lot of reason to celebrate in May….5 birthdays, Mother’s Day, watching the leaves begin to unfold, flowers poking up out of the garden and daylight til after 8pm!!
I love the cool mornigs and warm afternoons of May.
I love the warmer yet still mild weather. Plus I get two holidays back to back – mother’s day and my birthday 🙂
I love May because it is usually the first time I can walk outside without a jacket. Still cool enough that businesses haven’t started blasting their AC (I’m always cold!) but warm enough that being outside is wonderful.
I get to play in the dirt!
I can’t wait for May! Not only is it my birthday month, but since I live in Michigan, it’s usually not until May that you can count on spring flowers blooming, the beginning of fair weather, sunshine, fresh air, getting outside!
My favorite thing about May is how green everything is outside and the perfect weather! I hope I win this giveaway! Thanks Layla!
Everything gets green and warm in Oregon, and we can start a garden!
My favorite thing about May is that my son comes home from college! 🙂
I love that here in the midwest, May brings hope of spring FINALLY coming!
I love to get my garden planted and see all the vegetables and flowers begin to grow and come alive.
Layla, today is May day! No better day in May! As a kid my mom always helped us make may baskets to put on neighbors doors. My grand daughter is 2 and I’m teaching her this tradition. We made them yesterday and will be going out today! Thanks
Blooming is definitively my favorite thing in May!! It smell nature and flower outside like never (here in Canada).
I have been looking for just the right one for a very long time now, maybe I’ll get lucky and win one!! Thanks a bunch
I love the month of May because both my children were born in May!! 🙂
May brings new life and hope.
My wedding anniversary is in the month of May.
Well, I love everything about the month of May. My fave thing though, is today – my anniversary with my wonderful husband!
GREEN! After long, hard winters, green is a wonderful color to see outside!!!
What a lovely giveaway….those old hymns would be a great idea although my mind is percolating with other options!
Green! Fresh mown grass! Flowers, flowers, flowers!
My firstborn was born on May 6th!
