May!!!

The long-awaited month of May has arrived and I'm so glad! This past winter was a long and cold one and the spring was cold and wet, so we are ready for some sunshine and blue skies, for sure. May is always one of my favorite months because its so bright and sunny and the days are warm and the nights cool. I find it perfect for sleeping and delightful for enjoying the long days and beautiful flowers. So May is welcome on the East End today!

I'm hoping that May turns out to be a beautiful month. It will be a wonderful time of celebration in my family as we celebrate a wedding. My son and his beautiful fiance are getting married in a few weeks and we're very excited about our fourth and final child settling down in a wonderful relationship. What a blessing that is for any parent, seeing their children with great people. In my case I want to see them all as happy as their father and I have been and I think they will be.

May is also busy for us because there's so much work to do in the yard and around the house. There's a home office that still needs renovating and I'm hoping to make some progress out there but with all the outdoor work to be done I have my doubts. There simply are not enough hours in the day during the month of May. It's one of those months when we could use an additional 10 or 12 hours, along with the energy to use them.

May is making a welcome appearance today and we're all glad to see it.
