On this, the night before the last day of the month of May, I am thinking that THIS has been the BEST May ever in my whole life. Despite the storms, which have been many, the trip to the basement to wait out the tornado warning, Chris staying up late to watch the radar... it's been so beautiful.
The hikes in the woods have continued, as have the walks on the trail by the river, and the strolls in the neighborhood. Each with its own charms, ALL with flowers along the way to admire.
Unfortunately the thistle got mowed down along the path the day after I took this photo. No matter. More will come. You can't keep a thistle down.
We have previously discussed the therapeutic benefits of a good mind clearing morning walk. I recently read something about how good it can make you feel to clean out a drawer. That resonated with me. One drawer - that is so manageable. It has been added to my "do this" list. Something to do that can clean away clutter while sweeping away unwanted chatter in the brain seems like a real win-win.
Enjoy your last day of May. I would love to hear how you spend it. Big. Small. Medium-sized... and every way in between.
It’s been nice here too - the perfect mix of sunny days and rainy days has helped my veggie garden to get off to a good start! Today will be just kick back and relax! I finished listening to Ordinary Grace by William Kent Kruger (if you haven’t read it, you definitely want to) and will probably start a new book and do a little art!

Chris, I just LOVE it when plants are able to get established before the heat of summer! I swear I have read Ordinary Grace but will have to check out to be sure, I just read a synopsis and it sounds so familiar.
