The Days of May

May is almost upon us and with it comes many things!

The fairies come out in May (shhh don’t scare them away)

The light lingers longer in the leaves of the trees, and the birds start looking for places to have families

The summer sun starts to peak through, ice cream cones start to leak ice cream goo

Watermelons fill the grocery stores and children come bursting out of school doors

Let’s celebrate as light fills the air. Here are some fun May ideas to share!
