Upon the first of May Today, this first day of May, was warm and beautiful, filled with sunshine from top to bottom. I reckon this day was a good omen of things to come. For May around these parts means not only celebrating mothers, but also birthdays, long weekends with fireworks, and toiling in the soil, all of which equates to plenty of time out of doors and plenty of good seasonal food. My mouth starts to water at the simple thought of fiddleheads and asparagus on my plate to celebrate another garden sowed. Here's to May...let the good times roll.

And here in Manitoba, Canada, we're delighted to see the last of our snow go. But now there are fears of flooding in some areas. I'm sure, with God's help, we'll make it through OK, though.

Such a beautiful image! Everything sounds delightful. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we are now in May! Stopping by from Katherine's Corner...Happy Thursday.

I'm happy it's finally May too... no fireworks on the horizon but perhaps a picnic/potluck and a long weekend? And my fingers are crossed for lots and lots of sunny days, in the garden of course!

Gorgeous shot! Great perspective and composition! Hope you're having a fabulous Thursday :o)

May 2, 2013 at 12:13 PM 
Oh, how pretty! My tulips and daffs got buried by snow yesterday. I'm hoping some of them survived!!

May 2, 2013 at 2:46 PM 
I hope your May continues with beautiful weather! :)

May 2, 2013 at 6:43 PM 
Gorgeous capture!

May 2, 2013 at 7:32 PM 
Sounds like a great start to May. Toiling in the soil is on my agenda as well.

May 2, 2013 at 8:56 PM 
Happy May celebrations to you! Lovely flower shot!

May 2, 2013 at 10:04 PM 
Yeah May it is finally feeling like May:)
It is going to be a wonderful month for you out in the sun and the dirt two of my favourite things for sure.
Happy May Andrea. Hugs B
