Sweet May – this busy but exciting and beautiful month. This spring, I have been savoring the sights of all the peonies in bloom; they are a favorite flower of mine. Our peony bush (above) was here before we moved into the house, and H and I have spoken about how lovely it would be to plant more. They are so lush and gorgeous, and I love cutting a few for a fragrant bouquet in the kitchen…
Other lovely spring things of late have included…
- Homemade banana pancakes and cinnamon rolls that H has made on Sundays
- The first strawberries and tomatoes at our local farm stand
- Going back to Thistle Farms for afternoon tea with my mom
- Our flowers already growing and the first sprouts in the garden
- Weekends eating lunch on the patio & reading on the screen porch
- Finding and adding pretty summer wear to my wishlist
- Dreaming of our annual Rhode Island vacation
What would your lovely spring list include? Try making one, and see if it brings you feelings of gratitude of joy, as it did for me.
Hoping your day and May is filled with simple, lovely joys.
P.S. 5 simple summer pleasures to look forward to and my low-key, easy bachelorette weekend from a few Mays ago.
