One of my favorite months, too. Granddaughters birthday on May 22, our wedding anniversary in May 21. And the countryside is fresh and green.
May Day....May Day!
Happy May Day from over here! Tradition is to leave some flowers on the doorstep for luck, as it's the start of the Celtic Bealtaine Festival here. Sending you all virtual wildflowers
I have a birthday this month.
I never put my DOB 'out there' because with just it and my real-name, anyone can access all of my health records and a few of my accounts.

May 1st is the beginning of sea turtle nesting season in Florida.
Every one must turn off all ocean facing lights at dusk, resorts must bring in all beach chairs, people digging holes in the sand and not filling them in when they leave can expect to be reprimanded by True Floridians.
Volunteer sea turtle patrols will be out and anyone molesting or even getting near a turtle coming out of the water to lay her eggs in the sand will be reported (it’s illegal to interfere in any way with a sea turtle, it could cause her to turn around and the eggs may end up being lost).
Nesting season is a HUGE deal in Florida.

Happy May Day. The photo below is of my granddaughter at last year's Maifest Celebration after Sunday church. We had a German church service, then afterwards in the parking lot, polka bands, beer garden, schnitzel and bratwurst. Who could ask for more. Walk out of church to a beer garden and dancing!

And, of course, polka dancing.

If anyone is interested I could try to post links.
Our local weekly island newspaper prints regular updates on number of nests counted, and later on articles of hatchlings.
And we have a good friend who is an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and they always have good information.

I don't celebrate it, but others do.Well well!!
To me it only means: "one more year gone, and one less year to live

I think that would be pretty cool, do you mind starting a fresh thread, or did you already?

I like May too. Our snow is usually gone by now, the wild flowers are coming out, the mud is drying up, grass is green and we can usually turn the cattle out by the 15th. We're only a month away from planting the garden now.
I lived with my better half for a year or two, before we decided to sell her house and buy one that we both liked, and in a better area. It donned on us that we really don't have an official anniversary date, so we decided that we would use the closing date from when we purchased this house as our official anniversary. Since our closing date was 05-06-15, I guess I have an anniversary coming up. Then again, we have yet to celebrate any anniversary yet!
