May2

honey-sweet may.

Posted on May 2, 2017 by beth

“at last came the golden month of the wild folk–

honey-sweet May, when the birds come back,

and the flowers come out,

and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year.”

― samuel scoville jr.

Oh, such a precious piece of art, Beth! I love Maypoles with ribbons, baskets of flowers and flowers in girl’s hair. The onlooking mouse is so sweet!

        All is well. Just seem more tired in the mornings lately. Too many surgeries, I think.
