MAY-A MONTH TO BEGIN THE SUMMER SEASON

One warm day and the shorts, flip flops and tank tops are visible everywhere. 20 degrees C is not really that warm but one would not know it when seeing how people have responded. In the middle of July, it would be deemed cool! I digress! May brings all the vegetation alive. Each day the trees are budding further, tulips are popping their heads and the grass is a little greener. My favourite month, not only because my wedding anniversary occurs but it is the beginning of the stretch of outdoors and all the activities that accompany it. Meals! Walks! Day and overnight trips! Farmers' markets! Fresh, local produce will be coming our way! The promise of good times ahead! Just seeing some bushes start to flower with others close behind brings a smile! The windows are open with fresh air flowing through the house! Reviewing the pile of books for reading for the next few months! May is not just a month but can be a name for a woman! May day was celebrated throughout the world and even in some small corners of British Columbia! People just become more relaxed with the change! Be careful driving as there are really more accidents with the warmer weather! I always wish May could stay! Makes for a happier day! So what do you say?
