May is when my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary! 7 years this May. And we’re celebrating my Dad’s 60th birthday this month too!
Wow, I love this artwork! My favorite thing about may is the flowers and plants. I love walking around the garden shops and planning what we plan to do with our yard and gardens every year.
End of school!!! Happy planning summer adventures for five little munchkins 🙂
I love the freshness of blooming life in May! And…it’s my birthday month! 🙂
That hopefully it will be the last month with snow until September!!!!
How I wish the grass were green and not white!
April showers bring May flowers!
Usually I love May because it means we can get our garden going soon and start producing our own food. But this year we are under the gun with a fence change and lots of yard work. Hoping we can still make it happen!!
Our second baby is due!
My favorite thing about the month of May is how positively green and lovely it is in Alabama.
Lots of family time between Mother’s Day and birthdays!
so beautiful!
May is the end of the school year and the kick-off to summer! What could be better than that! 🙂
My favorite things in May, are the birthdays of 2 of my 3 children. May 1st and May 5th. 🙂
Up until moving to Texas–May in Wisconsin always meant warm weather starting (hopefully) and flowers beginning to bloom…
My favorite part about this month is that my son graduates from high school…..ready to celebrate ALL his accomplishments! And I am a school nurse and with graduation comes summer break 🙂
Oh, how I love Dee’s work!
May. It is such a frenzy in college ministry but I usually have one week that’s restful. The weather is beautiful and I can just breathe for a few days.
One of my favorite things about may is my birthday!
I love that May brings the end of another school year and all the busyness of it!
My favorite thing about May has always been that it means, “schools out… for Summah”! That meant an end to schedules, snuggle time and laid back late breakfasts and dinners. Love me some summer!
xoxoxoxo

I love that may brings the blooming flowers and warm weather. I also love Mother’s Day because I now get to spend time with my daughter and my mom together.
It’s BiRtHdAy Month for my house hold. LOTS & LOTS of them.
What do I love most about May? The warmer temperatures, the trees leafing out, the flowers beginning to bloom, the bird’s singing, the feeling of life and hope that comes with Spring. I love it all.
May means the pool is finally warm enough to go swimming!
My birthday is in May…. and I love Spring!
LOVE May! The colors and everything growing and coming to life. Also, my birthday is in May!
Our 1st child, our son, was born on the 21st. He is one of the best people I know! That makes May a pretty special month to me.
I struggled for 6.5years of infertility before giving birth to my only child (who is now a fun loving 30 month old girl). So I’d say my favorite thing about May is Mother’s Day. I never take being a Mama for granted and I welcome being spoiled for a day.
My favorite thing about May is that my “baby” was born in May! Her middle name is Joy and she loves her middle name so much she actually had it tattooed on her. I would love to win a JOY canvas to give her for her birthday, since she turns 30!!!! This May 30th.. I am going to wander thru all the canvas Art and see which ones I will be ordering !
The start of Spring…at least here for us in MI 🙂
May, May oh lovely MAY…..the flowers blooming
Putting in the garden, and my flower beds coming alive!
I love the flowers, grass and new renewal that spring brings.
I am a teacher and I love that summer is near! I also love working in the yard and planting flowers!!
Blooming trees, blooming flowers (and hopefully no more snow after what they have predicted for tomorrow–yikes!).
Love to open the windows and smell the mowed grass!
Flowers and the beautiful weather!
I love that where I live, May finally starts to turn into springs…the weather gets warmer (typically, though it is snowing today), the trees and plants begin to bloom and the air is fresh!
Spring is in the air and the anticipation of SUMMER!! 🙂
My anniversary!
May 3rd is my birthday so that is always exciting plus May brings us closer to beach weather. Rosemary Beach here we come!
My favorite thing about May is my hubby’s birthday! Woo hoo!
The energy and excitement I feel to get out in my yard is my favorite thing about May. I love raking away what winter has left in my flower gardens and discovering the new life underneath! So much promise for a beautiful summer.
I love the beautiful flowers in May here in Texas.
My favorite thing about the month of may is spring has really set in so you are able to enjoy the sunny warm days and cool nights.
I love May for the true start of Spring, and for birthdays! My mom’s, my M-I-L, and me!
All the beautiful flowers that are in bloom make May for me one of the best times of the year. A chance to get outside and enjoy planting flowers and starting a garden.
My favorite part of May is spring! April is always hit or miss for us… we’ll have a few warm days and a few super cold days. But in May we finally get sunny weather and a taste of summer. 🙂
It’s my birthday month:)
I love that the flowers are all starting to bloom and the trees have gone from grey “sticks” to colorful buds & leaves. Makes you smile just to see the beauty of it!!!
cool mornings and warm afternoons
