I love eating dinners outside again…

The weather! Warm, but not hot! And the kids are all excited about the start of summer.
May is a favorite for all the new blooms on the trees and on the ground, gives the world some bright color and joy!
The end of the school year and the beginning of summer. Time outside before it gets really hot. Celebrating my birthdays and Mother’s day with family.
My favourite thing about May is the feeling of new possibilities that Spring brings! 🙂
Love these! Would love to give this to my MIL as a housewarming gift. I love the perfect weather in May; not too hot, not too cool. Perfect for being in the park, taking hikes, being outside with my daughter. Summer in Atlanta is excruciatingly hot, so May is our perfect time.
May means the hub-bub of the racing engine…I live in Indianapolis, IN…home of the “greatest spectacle in racing”. You can see black and white checkered flags all around the city. Even if you don’t go to the race, you still feel the energy it brings to the city.
We are having snow in Colorado this first day of May, but I’m so looking forward to new bright green leaves on the trees! Soon!
My favorite thing about May, is the beginning of warm weather & everything is so bright & green. It’s like, the heaviness of Winter is lifter from my shoulders. 🙂
May is a month to see God’s handiwork on our landscapes and to get outdoors and enjoy gardening, grilling and guests!
I love May because my garden finally wakes up and becomes so colorful!
May is a month of new beginnings & promise. I love seeing the grass start to green up, the plants emerging from the soil, trees budding out and people coming outdoors after a long, hard winter. Joy!
This year, I love May because it’s finally time to meet my baby boy! I’m due to have my 3rd child any day now and can’t wait for him to make an appearance!
May is when Spring turns into the blazing hot summer here in Texas. My boys and I spend our days at the pool and the evenings playing in the backyard. It’s wonderful! 🙂
May is one of my very favorite months. I was married in May to a wonderful man whose birthday is also is May. May also brings sunshine, warm weather, and flowers!
Living in Texas, May is the best part of the year. Temperatures aren’t unbearable yet so I can enjoy morning or afternoon runs, time spent on my balcony sofa reading and reflecting and the sounds of summer coming into bloom – water splashing, children laughing and the smell of grilling.
May is the month we honor Mary, the mother of Jesus so it’s a really special month for us. We remember her faithfulness to all that was asked of her and we thank her with flowers and songs for being the best Momma ever!
Spring! It’s finally spring in Northern Michigan! Birds and green grass, and the blue lakes. No more gray, no more snow and ice!! (Heavenly sigh….:)
School year ending and summer fun with my kids on the way!
May for me, means new life. New green leaves on the trees, bright flowers popping up from the ground, and sunshine!
Thw warmer weather!
What I love about May is everything turning green and the flowers blooming. Also enjoy spending mild evenings on the back porch swing.
You know what, I so look forward every single day to reading your beautiful, OMG so funny, inspirational home and craft ideas and exciting news about your up and coming adoption, blog!!!! I just love it that you and your hubby are just the perfect couple. You really should be called Ricky & Lucy :):):). What a support system via your blog also. Wow.
Now, The Lettered Cottage, I wish I was so crafty like that and could come up with such great writings and be able to put them on signs!!
And of course, May!!! I love May and everything about it!!! Planting all those beautiful flowers and plants and watching them grow and God’s daily sunshine he so cleverly gives us. Because of my job, I get to work for a school district and get time off to spend with my children and grandkids often! I love spring, summer and anything warm and wonderful!!! Thanks and big hugs to you Layla and Kevin too!
My favorite thing is the warmer weather!
My favourite thing in May is lilacs in bloom 🙂
I love Mother’s Day and the beginning of a multitude of family birthdays and other gatherings. I just ordered for the first time from Red Letter Words and would love to win to add to my gallery wall.
There is soooooo very much to love about May but my favorite thing is to get my hands dirty by playing in the warm brown soil and lots of baby plants 🙂
My favorite thing about May is that trees once again have leaves and lose their nakedness!
I love the beginning of flowers blooming!
I love that May is when spring finally starts to arrive in MN! And that May is the last month of the school year.
My favorite thing about May is our grand daughters birthday. She was our first grand child and was 2pds 11oz and a miracle. This year she will be officially a teen, turning 14, Her name is Faith.
My favorite thing about May is doors and windows wide open!!!
The best thing about the month of May is all the endings that are really beginnings! Graduations, the end of the school year are endings but also the beginning of summer, careers, swimming pool season, and the prelude to the June wedding season! May is one of my favorite months!
I love the weather and the ushering in of Summer break 🙂
Flowers!! And KY Derby (can you guess where I live?!)
I love May for lilac blooming, flowers waking up and the beauty of green grass and budding trees. Nature is a wonderful thing.

Hi Layla!
I’d love to win! My favorite thing about May is, knock on wood I don’t want to jinx it…May 15th we will close on our house. We’ve been waiting 3 long years to buy again. My husband’s company closed and we had to find a job and sell our house in Fl. He found a job quick thank goodness. The house has been the slow part. We had to do a short sale. Three years later we are set to buy. How’s this for awesomeness…we are buying 3 doors down from where we are renting. That means our daughter’s best friend is still down the street and her school is still around the corner. We promised her we wouldn’t move far from her friends and we were able to keep that promise. I love your blog and y’all have really given us some great ideas.
Thank You,
Jennifer
My favorite thing about May is….that’s the month my husband was born in.
I love that May brings lots of new life…flowers budding and that I can actually celebrate Mother’s Day as a mom after years of infertility.
I love May because its my birthday month! The flower for May is Lily of the Valley and my name is Sharon. In the Bible it talks about the Rose of Sharon, the Liky of the Valley. I feel blessed!
Ahhhh… the warm May sun on my face! Living in Canada means many months of c-c-cold, but May FINALLY brings her warmth like a big hug! It’s energizing, inspiring and motivating …that’s what I love! (Well, that, and getting my “little guys” back out on the summer football field!) I love love love Red Letter Words! Been swooning over her art for months! 🙂
The memory of receiving homemade May basket cards (with treats, aka money, inside) from my sweet grandma…
May is a special month of celebration in my home! My sweet, soon-to-be 82, Momma’s birthmonth (May 6); my first, soon-to-be 32, baby’s birthmonth (May 2); my precious, now deceased, Daddy’s birthmonth (May 30th).
May is the birth month of my firstborn….so…it’s a special month! Thank you!
Blossoms on the trees!!! Plum blossoms are the best, but also lilacs and apple blossoms:)
I love the warm weather! I get so depressed in winter, and the warm weather and sunshine make mydoldrums go away.
Thanks for the giveaway!
