Beautiful May

May is by far my favorite month of the year. I enjoy
the heat of each summer, but each spring I still get amazed at the rebirth of
the area after the long cold winter.

The weather warms up into the 60s and 70s, the trees
leaf out, the flowers start to bloom, plus, when you live in mosquito country,
it is about the only warm month of the year where you normally do not have to
worry about being bitten.

But for us May lovers, there has been a problem lately
and that has been that four out of the last five Mays have been quite cold (last
year being the exception). Cool wet Mays in recent years have forced patience on
many of us as we wait for those first flowers to bloom and the opportunity to
plant our gardens or fields. So far, so good this year temperature wise, I for
one am hoping it continues.

  1. The four cold Mays in question must have been due to Global Cooling. :) I also remember two recent 4th of July’s being bitterly cold. One particular 4th, the temps were in the low 40′s or so with the wind blowing at 30 MPH or so. Winter jackets would have been in order, but we didn’t have those packed.
