May

Arrival

*****

I know the official start of spring was weeks ago,

but May really signifies spring here in Ohio.

It means we most likely are done with any frost

and it's safe to take plants outside.

Although we still dip into the 30's at night, it's

the high 30's and the danger of freezing is gone.

I celebrated this weekend by ~

1. having coffee on the porch swing.

2. washing and putting away the boys winter coats.

3. removing the flannel bed sheets and replacing

them with the lightweight ones.

4. replacing the storm doors with screens.

5. making my list for what I want to plant in the

vegetable garden.

Still to come this month will be ~

1. planting the garden

2. moving the monster fern outdoors

3. selecting some annuals for the pots

4. choosing a hanging flower basket

5. setting out the bird bath and fountain

6. celebrating two holidays and the ending

of the school year.

7. ending the comfort food to grill!

8. replacing the after dinner cup of tea with a

bowl of icecream

9. sleeping with the window cracked just a bit.

10. having a garage sale.

Happy Spring!
