Fair Month of May

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.

Beautiful May grass.
Cheerful Sweet William.
See the rain drop hitting the bench?
Plants are safe outside.
Fields of wildflowers in happy bloom!

May really is a fair month.

Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt—Someday

Someday never comes. That is what my mother used to tell me. But Scripture tells me that a desire worked on diligently will come. I have chosen to believe Scripture, though I have known the truth of Mom’s words too.

It has helped me to write down goals for my someday. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I do not. So I suppose the question I have to ask myself is this: How badly do I really want that someday to come? It must come from actions done by me. I am thinking if my someday never comes, I probably never really wanted it begin with. Dreaming is free and easy.

Does this make any sense?
