May Day

   

"Queen Guinevere's Maying" ~John Collier   Happy May Day to you!  Yesterday it was quite cool here in our part of North Carolina; I told my husband yesterday evening that it felt like an English spring.  Today the temperature is supposed to reach 80°.  I just took Duncan for a walk, and it looks like a perfect first day of May.  Things are blooming; there are still some dogwoods covered with snow-white blossoms, and I saw some peony buds in my neighbors' yard.  Our Gertrude Jekyll rose bush has buds on it, too.  

    I love the month of May -- how about you?  It's a time to celebrate mothers, a wedding anniversary here, and Memorial Day, as well.  It's also time to go to the garden shops and buy flowers -- always a hopeful endeavor.  ;)   Here's to celebrating the merry month of May!   Cheers,
