May is Madness

Madness of the best kind!

Yes, you're mad, bonkers...but I'll tell you a secret, all the best people are - said Alice.

Yay for May, the best month of the year.

A wreath of  May flowers adorns the top of this pretty head. . . 

 all the flowers I could pick and weave into it in 

just one day in May. Madness at its best. 

The perfect accessory for dancing with the garden fairies.

Madness, Magic, Miracle, there are not nearly enough ways or words to describe the month of May, and the bounty of blooms that fill it from the beginning to the end.  

Can we talk about fragrance! 

Yes, there is color everywhere you look, 

up, down, all around,

 but close your eyes and just breathe!

The air is saturated with May's perfume.

Every garden has its best month, for mine it is always May.

The month of May is my favorite, even though it passes by in such fast motion that I can hardly contain all the joy. 

Living and gardening in the Midwest I have learned to treasure the seasons, the months, the constant changing of the guard.

And now it's on to June.........
