The Merry Month of May

  

Almost all of us have heard the expression, "April showers bring May flowers."

Of course, it's true.  May, being well situated at the beginning of spring, offers all kinds of beautiful blooms.

 Going to a garden center at this time of year is beyond exciting.  It's an experience that makes a person glad to be alive.

It's always amazing to see hundreds of hanging flowering plants, flowering plants in containers, and bright, blooming flowers in flats.

A vase filled with gorgeous blooming flowers just lifts one's spirits to the high heavens.

Whenever it's time for jotting down things that reflect self-care, buying flowers is always on the list. 

Some people dislike artificial flowers but not me. All flowers, living and silk, can be delightful to see.  Some of the silk ones look incredibly real. 

 We don't even need huge bouquets of flowers. A single rose or carnation in a pretty vase brings smiles to our faces. 

May is very a beautiful month that gives sunshine, blue skies, warmer temps, and flowers.  And yes, rain, too.

Next time you get caught in a downpour, just think how good it is for the flowers!
