May 2013 Special Days

It’s been a while since I wrote a post on this blog. I missed posting the April dates completely.  It’s already the 7th of May but there is still time to get organized for the upcoming holidays and special events.  Below I’ve listed the dates and lots of links to websites to help you plan your celebrations.

May can be a hectic month or a quiet month depending on your individual lifestyle. If you have MP900314164children in school you know all the activities going on as the school year winds down. There’s the end of the year assemblies, graduations, and cleaning out their desks/lockers.

Mother’s Day may be a day of celebration filled with gifts and food or it may be a quietflowerpot1-thumb.gif one filled with reflection. I will celebrate my mother’s day by having a brunch for my mother and mother-in-law. My children and new grandchild live out of town so it’s a mixed day for me.

 

 

If you have a yard to take care of not only do you get to enjoy the beauty of it this month you also have a lot of work.  TIMGP0292here’s the mowing, fertilizing, pruning, and planting. Many things need to be done before the heat of summer kicks in.
