I love the warmer weather the month of May brings. The earlysunrise awakens the day with the sound of songbirds going about their business fliting back and forth gathering food and material to build their nests.
It’s always a joy to walk the yard discovering evidence of green plant life popping through the soil.
My chickens are happy to be out doing what chickens do. I look forward to planting many new varieties of colorful perennials and annuals. The dream of long summer days is just around the corner.
Yes, the month of May is a delightful time of year!
In May
By Alice Baker
The rain that’s falling soft and slow
Has set the tulip bed aglow,
A flaming mass of color.
And oh, the yellow and the red
Against the blackness of the bed-
The garden seems enchanted.
And how the tiny rose leaves shine,
So new and wet, and on the vine
A tiny yellow warbler.
And in my heart, I bend my knee
To Him who made such things to be-
So exquisite and tender.
As you know, I will have completed my two-year term as the Caro Garden Club President June, 2021. This will be my last Spotlight from the President to you.
My how the time has flown by. It has been a joy and privilege to work with fellow members of the Caro Garden Club and community to further educate and stimulate the love of gardening.
It is my hope that many more will get involved in this wonderful organization I’m so proud and willing to be a part of.
