Happy May Day

From my house to your door, I send along a May basket.
I love May. Spring is pretty close to being in full bloom, birthdays are plentiful in our family, school is almost over.... I love May.

On a sad note. A robin family made a nest on our front porch light. Mama Robin has been nesting for weeks now, while Dad Robin has been staying close by, gathering food for his wife, and guarding his family to be. Yesterday we found Dad Robin dead in our front yard. Mom Robin is now a single mom. Her babies are not born yet. (just saw a big ol' mouth reaching up to eat) I feel sad that she has to fend for herself now. Females are strong though, and I know she can and will do it.

It is a gorgeous day today, so we will not spend it indoors. I found a new park yesterday so I told the girls we would go today and try it out. Perry is going to get his boat out of the water and back on dry land, but once he is done, we will go Geocaching.

I am seeing our neighbors house across the street and their door seems empty to me. I feel the need to make up a May basket and put it on their door. I'll gather my girls up to help me. They are an elderly couple and I hope it will brighten their day. (we did, it was beautiful, she loved it)

Happy May Day to all of you. Happy Weekend.
