Happy May Day! I don't really understand what May Day is, but it's celebrated here in the Midwest with goodie baskets that our neighbors leave us and that Sam had fun doing at preschool today, so it works for us!
It's the first day of May today, but it doesn't feel like it. It's in the 40s and it's chilly, cloudy, and wet, as it's been all week. We've had a few nice days here and there over the last few weeks, but overall it hasn't been the best weather. Spring has mostly been following in winter's cold, windy footsteps. There are two magnolia trees in our front yard that normally bloom beautifully in April, but because of the long winter and chilly spring, they're not blooming as nicely this year. But fortunately I took pictures of last year's blooms, and I never posted them here on the blog, so I'm going to do that now and pretend that it's really this nice out!
Budding beauty
Full-blossomed glory
Here's hoping that May flowers will soon be blossoming in warmth and abundance!
