Another YAY for May!

Our garden!! Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and peppers. We have some herbs in pots that have attracted swallowtail butterfiles among other creatures. Right now we have 4 swallowtail caterpillars getting fatter by the day. My girls (and I) are kind of hooked on the whole butterfly metamorphasis :)

The rollie pollies are attacked our squash and cucumbers big time. Not sure what to do on that. They get down low and gnaw on the roots. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd smush a cute little poly (when the girls aren't looking of course). I've also found some snails. The tomatoes and peppers are doing beautifully though. Those are our favorites anyway but still...I want some squash!! And some cucumbers!!

Happy May!

I love May! It used to be my most unfavorite month. We lost our home to a fire and my dad died in May in 1988 and for MANY years I dreaded the coming of May.

But God is so good!!

May now means "restoration" to me. In the Mays of the past I have been blessed with the birth of two babies and the conception of one! Mother's Day is in May. My birthday is in May and rather than feel depressed at adding to my years I have felt blessed to have made it around the sun yet again! So bravo for May! And thank you Lord for turning sorrows into dancing!

Here is my current favorite picture: my 11 month old sweetheart who is began WALKING two weeks ago! Yay for May!
