My daughter’s 5th birthday!
May is wonderful because my husband, my first daughter, my dad (a proud Palmer!) grandmother, great-grandmother, and BFF all have birthdays in this maaaaahvelous month! Parties galore!!
My favorite thing about THIS May is that my husband will finally graduate from Physical Therapy School…and we’re going to become first-time homeowners!!!
I love that with May comes the smell of spring and longer days.
I love that the weather evens out and we have the most beautiful days in Houston!! I live here because of March, April, and especially May!
I love the sounds, the scents, the signs of Mother Nature waking from her sleep and ready to display the magic of all her glory!
May….hmmmm, so many things….my granddaughter’s b’day, the first signs of Spring reminding me of God and his faithfulness…”morning by morning new mercies I see”, Mother’s Day and the opportunity to be grateful for my 87 yr old mom who has Alzheimer’s. We don’t really have conversations anymore, but she still knows me and for that I am so grateful. Yep, so many things to love about May!
It is currently snowing in Iowa, so it’s nice to dream about the things I love about May. Leaves on the trees and flowers blooming!

May is gardening, flowers, baseball and sunshine that we’ve been missing all winter 🙂
My favorite color is green, so this is the perfect time of year for me (although we have snow in the forecast for today!). I also love going to my kids’ track meets in May.

Even tho’ I am grown up (ah, so many years grown up!) I still think of May as the end of school and the beginning of summer!

My favorite thing about the month of May is the name of this month. I love saying the word May. It’s has such a soft and gentle sound. May is also a gateway month between spring and summer. That makes it special, too!
Finally…warm weather!
Not only was I born in the merry month of May, but when I was five yrs old, one week before my birthday, my parents brought home a new baby brother. The best bday present ever – who grew to be a best friend and cohort. We shared our birthday celebrations ever afterward ( but with our own cakes, of course!
😉
I Love Celebrating My Beautiful Mom 🙂
and
I Love May Flowers 🙂
Blooming cherry trees & Tulips!
