Glimpses of May

As many pictures as have already been shared for the month of May, I’ve still got more! I feel like things really started to wake up and show off in May {gearing up for an active and thriving Summer perhaps?}, and so we’re going to have a photographic recap of the bits and bobs left behind from other posts. This is going to be text-light, but I will provide captions.

My souvenir mug from Echo Mountain Inn.

Spoiler: After setting the tone with all our foodie adventures in the mountains, May continued to be a month of absolutely fabulous dining experiences.

Our first {and only} harvest of peas …
… became the most delicious pea pasta dish ever.
This salad was so amazing that I ordered it on two separate
girl lunches during the month.
Finally got another one of these chicken sandwiches,
after missing the lunch menu slot for … over a year, ha.
Bakery goods are always a good idea.
The first fresh strawberry run!

When I say the world is waking up and showing off, I do mean all of it – from the skies to the wild things to the blooming things.

The sunsets have been shining the deepest warmest gold.
Stars doing their part in a watercolor sky.
Also: twinkle lights are a year-round need.
Our little snapping turtle friend returned!
Bird tracks in a mud puddle:
We were all excited about the rain.
This year’s Valentine rosebush: Julia Child
I resisted the temptation to “deadhead” over the winter,
and this hydrangea is a beauty!
Flew through this reread,
then had brunch with girlfriends to discuss.

After a month of so many small delights, I am looking forward to seeing what the Summer brings. My hunch is more color, crazy chicken antics, and a lot of delicious garden feasts to say the least.

I hope your May also held an abundance of small joys and delights, and June brings so many moments to make you smile.

  1. Wonderful photos! You have so many gorgeous blooms! I am also partial to the peas. They look so perfect and fresh lined up in their little pod. And wow, that pasta looks delicious. I am a sucker for a good pasta with peas.
