May is a month of transitions: in the garden, in the weather, in general activity and “vibes” … We’ve made it through Winter, and the pollen-infestation that was Spring, and now we shift toward Summer. There have been wild weather swings, from pouring rain to howling winds to chilly days when the heat got turned on. There have been days spent outside and afternoons on the couch with crochet. It’s been a month with not quite as many pictures, but still moments of quiet joy.
A full update post coming soon, and they can be seen on YouTube.
as well as this fabulous date lunch.
Looking ahead, we’ve got a busy June coming: the chickens will be moving to grass, garden harvests will start kicking into gear, and lots of ideas bouncing around my head.
Hopefully you’ve had a lovely May, were able to find moments of beauty and joy to balance out the chaos, and may we all transition to a glorious June.
The weather’s been all over the place here lately too. There have been days of glorious sunshine (and atm its gone oddly muggy) but we’ve also had the wintery winds and rain as well. The crotchet sessions you’ve had sound lovely.
Ooh love the little lizard and roses. I wonder what on earth the turtle got up to too 😂 your sunset picture looks incredible. Always love the sky in those kind of colours 😍
Wow your chickens have grown a lot already. Looks like you’re getting a great yarn collection too.
Omg what’s that pink leafed plant? It’s stunning 😍
I hope you have a wonderful June. It sounds busy but I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time with it all.

I’d love to know what that turtle was up to! He randomly appeared in the front yard, cruised across the grass, then proceeded to ramble down the middle of the gravel driveway 😂 The mud wasn’t entirely surprising, but the algae ON the mud was, so there’s no telling what had been going on beforehand …
The pink plant is a type of caladium – they’re actually tuber-based plants that can be planted in shady spots, but since they go dormant in the winter here and I don’t want the tubers to freeze, we put them in a pot for the porch. Fingers crossed I can keep it alive through the dormant winter and have it regrow next spring!
Here’s to a wonderfully lovely June for us both ❤

😂😂 it’s a shame we’ll never know. It’ll be interesting to see if any others appear wirh algae on them in the future.
It looks stunning 😍 good luck with it over the winter period. Keeping it inside sounds wise.
Thank you 🥰🥰

And yes, the chickens are growing like crazy! And developing very distinct personalities as well, hehe

So much colour! It’s almost a bit jarring (in the best possible way) after the grey, white, and brown of winter and early spring. It felt like it took forever for things to bloom this year and now everywhere I look it’s just a full rainbow of colours!
That sky is just stunning!!!

It’s true! Blooming took forever, and even leafing out seemed to take the longest time … but when it happened, it happened! Now everything is so lush and green, and the flowers 😍
We are blessed with an exceptional sunset view 😍😍

What beautiful pics, and it sounds like you really had a great month. I love seeing plants and nature pics, and it sounds like you are really on top of your gardening. Unlike me, who was planning to plant a garden but don’t know how to keep plants alive and growing, and has to rely on my mom to explain what to do. Maybe one of these years I’ll have gorgeous garden pics to show off!

Thank you, and I’m so glad to hear that {the plants and nature pics}! I can’t help myself when it comes to taking them, which means I can’t help myself sharing either 🙂 Gardening has been a major learning experience, but starting to get the hang of it. Maybe, haha … It’s definitely a lot of trial-and-error and experimenting 🙂

I figure that I should have my mom guide me and teach me her gardening tricks.
