May is the month of lilies of the valley

Sometimes we just need to stop and smell the flowers.  The wonderful part about doing that on the first day of May is the reminder that the flower of this new month are lilies of the valley!  I recall growing up and seeing them push through areas normally reserved for grass.  Full of promise and that intoxicating sweet scent ... isn't that how all months should start?

Hopeful.
Promise.
Sweet.

Oh May, welcome to my current world!  SO much to look forward to ... some in May, some in June, some in July ... so, so much!

May brings Mother's Day - which is when Ellie and I choose the flowers for the front of the house, and this year we intend to figure out tomato and herb plants for the back of the house too!

How can the flowers make a difference?  Can they be the reminder of all the beauty in the world?  The theme is so prevalent in my days recently  .. including the quote:  If a flower doesn't bloom we don't blame the flower, we change the environment.

Cannot wait to continue to evolve the flowers in my world - both inside and outside!

Happy May!
