Birds*Buds*Blossoms*Beauty . . .

May ~ the month where each walk in the garden brings with it new surprises!
We love watching the Robins as they splash about in the birdbaths with such joy that they nearly empty the bath out. Heads dipped and wings spread, this bird knows how to turn bathtime into a sacred ritual.
And just like that .... our lovely old (and somewhat worse for wear) Purple Sand cherry tree is in bloom sprinkling our garden paths with confetti blossoms.

A pretty pot of pansies
and the ants tickling the peony buds telling them it's time to wake . . . 
I look forward to Peony season each year. It's such a short season and there is always the question of
do I pick a few for inside or just enjoy them in the garden? 
the tried-and-true annuals like Marigolds have been planted in the window boxes 

and the red Geraniums fill our urns 

"May ~ the very word makes the heart leap.
Birds. Buds. Blossoms. Beauty! ... "

May


Short lived but so pretty in our garden and filled with memories, as so many of our plants are, 
the lily of the valley has spread.  What started as one plant many years ago 
because I wanted to make my sons High School Graduation boutonniere, has turned into 
a huge, happy patch. 

Wishing you a May
filled with Birds * Buds* Blossoms & much Beauty!
