May 1

Can you believe it? We're going from snow and ice into May. Mother Nature has really been on a tear this year. Hopefully she'll calm down and give us some beautiful weather.

'I thought that spring must last forever; for I was young and loved and it was May.' ~ Vera Brittain

I am in total agreement with you Sandra.

The weather hasn't been able to make up her mind has she? Vera Britten's war-time experiences were incredibly sad.

It has been tumultuous to say the least. Today it was nearly 90 F and winds over 45 mph. Maybe May will bring flowers and not too many showers.

Valerie-Jael said...

I hope May will live up to its name this year. Have a good one! Hugs, Valerie

We are on vacation in Galicia, Spain, and the weather is crazy here, too. Yesterday was sooooo cold! And my friends in California write that last week there were thunderstorms.

Pat Hatt said...

No more snow is a win in our book!

CJ Kennedy said...

Finally some decent weather on the way this week! Happy Beltane!

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

We might finally get spring now.

Jamie Ghione said...

Yes, it is already May! The weather has been weird around here, but is expected to get warmer by Thursday.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

May 1 is my anniversary and I picked today so I would remember. LOL

Jeanie said...

The lusty month of May! (Lerner and Loewe!)

JEN Garrett said...

I know, MAY! I can't believe it. Sometimes it feels like this year is taking forever, and then all of the sudden school's almost out.

Christine said...

It will be Christmas before you know it, sigh. Happy May anyway.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Sandra .. it's chilly here too - but so much brighter and lighter and the sun doth shineth - cheers Hilary

Sandra Cox said...

Glad to hear the sun is shining in your corner of the world, Hilary. It was actually hot here today and the plants responded by wilting.

Sandra Cox said...

Yikes! Mother Nature is quite the extremist isn't she?

Sandra Cox said...

Yeah, but it will probably feel like July. Ha!

Sandra Cox said...

Isn't that the truth, Jen? Where did April get its wings?

Sandra Cox said...

Ha! Good idea. Happy Anniversary, Di:)

Sandra Cox said...

Heh. Today's May has been pretty low key here:)

Sandra Cox said...

Weird pretty much sums up the weather:)

Sandra Cox said...

It was actually hot here today! There too?

Sandra Cox said...

And Happy Beltane to you, CJ:)

Sandra Cox said...

That's for sure, Pat!

Sandra Cox said...

Now that's getting bad when the weather interferes with vacations.

Sandra Cox said...

Maybe she's ready to settle down.

Sandra Cox said...

She sure hasn't, EC.
I'm unfamiliar with Vera B's background, but really hate to hear it was sad.

Sandra Cox said...

Let's hope so, Elizabeth. Although, our clay ground has already sucked up all the moisture and is demanding more.

Sandra Cox said...

Me too:)
Hugs received and returned.

Magic Love Crow said...

Our Spring has went right into Summer! LOL! But, I'm not complaining. I'm just tired of gardening already! LOL! Big Hugs!

RO said...

Whew! Out in this neck of the woods of NC, it was blazing, so I did my running from the store back to the car, and right back to the house. (lol) Happy May to you Super Sandra! Hugs...RO

Birgit said...

We are supposed to reach 26C today!! 2 was ago we were having ice and snow which means it’s crazy🤪. I hope we get a lovely spring and not jump right into summer

Out on the prairie said...

I didn't get any may baskets, a tradition here.

Sandra Cox said...

Uh oh, you've got a lot of gardening season left. Grin.

Sandra Cox said...

That's the way to hustle. Heh.
And a Happy May to you, Rockin Ro.
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

It's already making the jump here. Sigh.

Sandra Cox said...

You'll have to tell us more about the May baskets, Steve.
