May...

May is...

Lilacs
Scotch broom... so glad I'm not allergic, like my mother was
Weeds... I am always behind, but this year, I'm catching up fast
Soft morning air...
Tea outside in the morning, in an Adirondack chair, under a pair of apple trees
Skunk cabbage in the ditches...
Trails that are finally dry...
Searching for shorts and tank tops...
Birds arriving, looking for a place for babies...
Mushrooms sprouting everywhere...

It's my favorite month for the flower gardens. Lilacs and columbine and dogwood, followed by rhododendrons, iris, foxglove, and daisies. It's the best and most colorful month at the farm.
