May is a fair month, don’t you think? This year it has been quite cool. I heard someone say ‘we had our May in March, and our March in May.‘

That has been true. Our March was terribly warm. Peach, plum, and apricot trees bloomed far too early. Unfortunately they were frozen out. Our frost date is May 15th.

We are on the planting edge for these sweet fruit trees in our zone. Sometimes we make it, other times we do not. This year will be a loss for our fruit growers of those particular trees.

Cool as it has been, May is still a fair month. I would like to share a few photographs I have taken in this special month that has just passed into the annuals of history.

May really is a fair month.
