May Flowers?

May Day!! I love this time of year, when winter is really fading, and before the trees are fully leafed out. It is the season of flowering trees and bulbs, and this year we have more than doubled what we have blooming in our yard. It is part of the pandemic silver lining. We are still home, even vaccinated, not traveling, barely eating out at all, seeing only a few people. This outdoor season we are going to make the most of having a home, not just being grateful for it, but celebrating the possiblities. It started with just spending more time outside so that we could see others outside our bubble, but last fall, when it was clear this going to go on for quite some time, we planted bulbs. We knew than that we would still be at home when they came up, that we could spend time enjoying them. And quess what? We will plant more flowers as the month goes forward.
