May may have marched past March

In some ways, May has felt like the longest month of my life. But in other, better, ways, it has been glorious, gorgeous and great. I think May now be my favourite month of the year.
Everything looks wonderful right now, possibly as beautiful as I've ever seen it. I am so content and I wish our climate could be like this all the time. I don't need to see the changing of the seasons to know that I absolutely love Spring and Summer. From now until about mid-July, I am in Heaven.
Then I'll start dreading the start of the coming Winter.
But for now, right now, I am right in the middle of it, and I'm aware that I'm right in the middle of it, and I'm aware it will pass, so I'm enjoying every awe-filled second of it.
And that's being helped, of course, by the return of SpringWatch. I watched the first one live but then only caught up with the other three episodes today. It really is wonderful, even if the over-enthusiasm of the presenters sometimes borders on 'annoying post-menopausal women on social media' vibes. My absolute highlight so far has to be the acorn weevil. What an incredible creature, and what incredible work to get the footage that detailed all its wonderful habits. I also loved the golden eagle section, but that goes without saying really, as they are such amazing birds. Regal, colourful and elegant (not unlike myself...)
Anyway, enough of my gushing. Time to read with Mathew in the garden, because we can do that, because it's so warm and so light!
Goodbye to you, dearest of Mays, and I thank you for your visit. We'll see you next year.
And I'll see YOU in June, dear friends...
