- Green – lots of bright green.
- Lunching in the Smoking Garden on any sunny day.
- The hammock comes out from storage.
- Trees are covered in new leaf.
- Fresh asparagus. You can’t buy anything like this.
- Our own lettuce in abundance.
- Whales are migrating north — a great time to take a whale-watch cruise.
- If you could only see my ferns in all their glory.
- The kids are still in school … in case we decided to play tourist, things are still uncrowded.
- Alewives migrate up the river, pursued by cormorants, fishermen, and eagles, along with osprey.

What do you like about May?

Here, I like the fact that the weather doesn’t get too hot in May and there is an abundance of wild flowers.
Definitely!
I like every single thing you mentioned, but more than any of those,I like the emergence of the violets, the budding of the lilacs, and the phoebes who nest under my deck.
Yay to all of them!
I love that farmers’ markets are starting up again………I enjoy searching for fruit and veggies locally, it gives me a thrill.
Yes, following the season is thrilling. Do you pick up flowers, too?
Yes! especially if they are wild flowers……….my absolute favorite!
