My favorite thing about May is our anniversary. Love the month and I love my soulmate.
My Favorite thing about May would be blooming flowers/greenery/kids playing in park & early morning sun rays. Thanks
May marks our Marriage anniversary (7 years this may)
I love the weather in may. Here in California it’s not usually too hot or too cool. Although i am not loving today’s 98 degrees : /. Usually it’s good hammock weather
The snow usually is gone! (we live high in the colorado mountains and always anxiously anticipate may and some warmer weather). Such pretty canvas art. Love it!
Peonies!
I love the beautiful flowers and how everything turns green again after winter. I also like that school is almost over for the year!
I love that the weather gets warmer this time of year! Thanks for the chance to win–the canvases are beautiful! 🙂
It’s my favorite time to be outside. I love seeing the plants bursting forth with new life. I love hearing the birds singing their songs of praise. In May/spring all of creation reveals for me the glory of God.
I am a middle school teacher. I love May because that’s when school’s out for summer!!!
I think May is the prettiest month! Not too hot, not too cold – just nice to be outside planting flowers after a very drab winter.
The sweet smell of a little boy’s head after playing a little league game and the smile on his Coach’s face…..his Dad!
Favorite of May was always the end of year school picnic! Lots of fun…..
Playing in the gardens and celebrating Mother’s Day!
May is “rebirth” to me. The glorious colors after the grey of winter, the smells of flowers and freshly mowed lawns and most of all the many new babies of all the wildlife open their eyes for the very first time…
I love Red Letter Words!!! My favorite thing about May is that school is finally out! It’s already getting into the triple digits here in AZ but I love the freedom to pick up and go swimming and not have such a strict schedule! Would love to win!!!
My pink dogwood tree….we take pics in front of it each Mother’s Day. It is a day doctors told us we would likely never experience, but we have three little miracles that God gave us that proved them wrong 😀 I LOVE that tree!
Picking the very many flowers that are in bloom
I ususally love May due to it’s ususally perfect weather, but this May I am very sad since my first born son will be graduating from high school and moving on to adulthood (and college) in August. Would love to win an inspirational message for his dorm room!
Celebrating moms!
The month of May brings lots of color to the landscape! My brother, my dad and my son all have birthdays in May!
My husband and I got married in May (31 years ago) and it’s warm enough for me to leave the front door open and eat lunch on the porch. And although my first surgery for breast cancer was in May, my last chemo treatment was also in May, a year later. 🙂 But the wedding, the weather and the porch are my favorite things about May. 🙂
Things I enjoy in May are lovely wildflowers on the roadside, Mother’s Day, southern-style Decoration Day/ family reunion, end of school and warmer weather!
New life…birds singing, flowers blooming, trees leafing out! Who wouldn’t love May?
Blessings : D
Darcy
Tulips!
I would love to win a canvas!
My favorite part of May is the abundance of sunshine, which in turn creates an abundance of sunshine in my heart.
I love seeing my bulbs bloom in May!
Strawberry picking with my twin 2 year olds!!
Lilacs are the best part of May.
I love flowers and trees blooming, longer days of sunlight, and that summer is just around the corner!!
I love May Day, Moms and school is almost out!!
Oh gosh. I cannot lie.
I love everything connected with Cinco de Mayo. I love the Mexican food. The Margaritas. The Mariachi Bands. The HOOPLA! Afterall, I am a Californian…….living in Florida. I am one of the few who makes homemade menudo!!!!! And, no, I am not Hispanic.
I would have said I love Mother’s Day the best …………..but I never get to see my girls on this holiday…………..so it is just any other day to me. They are in MO…..and I in FL. 🙁
May seems to be a month of celebrations…it is full and fun! And…at this time it is snowing!
The thing I love the most about May is that everything starts to green up and bloom. Spring time is so refreshing after Winter. Everyone perks up and seems happy. People are out walking in the neighborhood and enjoying the weather.
I love that may is the beginning of boating and time at the lake in South Texas
I love the brightness of the colors-especially here in Holland MI with the tulips in bloom. All is so fresh and green and new!
Opening the windows to let the fresh air in!
The flowers of course! 🙂 But also the prospect of lazy afternoons outside and dinners on the patio.
Whats not to love about May….after the winter we had in Michigan this year May is an answer to prayer! We went from winter to Summer……loving the sunshine and warm breezes…..FINALLY
May- Sun…warmth…flowers & daughter graduating from college!!! YES
May is Memories of Mom.
The wonderful sweetness that is my Emma. Due on May 22nd but didn’t arrive until the 29th. Thankful everyday that precious girl made me a Momma!
I like May because it is usually warm but not too hot, and includes my dad’s, stepmom’s, and cousin’s birthday.
THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!! 17 more school days! Woo Hoo! Ready for summer!
my baby’s birthday!
My favorite thing about May is that June comes right behind it and that usually means we are done with the snow and summer is a comin’ !!
Favorite May things? Lilacs and violets!
May is the coolest month of all! It is always opens up like a new beginning for me every year for some unknown reason? Maybe cause it’s my birth month. May says Summer and parties outdoors, and swimming/sunbathing, and fresh flowers – it all good in May!
Mother’s Day
