A Perfect Day in May

The kind of day you want to scoop up in your hands and hold forever.

Variations on a theme: Fragrant white blossoms from our garden – Lilac and Lily of the Valley with White Bluebell

Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) overflows one of the garden beds

Purple Trillium (Trillium erectum) in the rock garden

7 wonderful things to be grateful for today:

1. Getting up at 4:15 to hear the first birds singing

2. Dream-perfect weather all day – warm, not hot, breezy and fresh, the scent of lilac and lily of the valley and jasmine

3. Eating outside

4. Fresh raspberries

5. Everything blooming and healthy and sparkly

6. Sitting back in recliners, watching a cloudless sky

7. Sharing it all with loved ones
