I WANT A REPLAY ON MAY!

 Well, it’s May 24. Only 7 days left in the month of May, one of my favourite months. 

I want a replay, a round 2, a do-over. 

Let me state my case...

Gone is the sharp, biting cold wind. I’m greeted with May’s gentle honeysuckle and lilac scented caress. 

I gather this abundance into not one but three vases

It has a Mother’s Heart. Through my open windows I can hear baby birds squawking, and mother robins chirping warnings and precautions. “Stay in the bushes Junior - don’t go on the lawn!”

There are trees the colour of fuchsia

We can eat “al fresco” on the back deck

And Barbecue Everything

I spend a lot of time in the garden; digging, weeding, planting, potting. Then I have coffee every morning enjoying the view and all my efforts. 

In 7 more days, May will be gone and June will sashay in holding the summer banner high. 

I will have to wait another 11 months for another May. 

Can’t we rewind and have a replay on May?
