I love May!! It’s my birth month and this year will be my 50th gardening season so I’m trying to see it as how much I have grown both in spirt , plants and of course years…rather than seeing 50 as a terrible thing. The photo you see of the little girl is me…45 years ago in my dad’s garden in Owatonna MN. The seed doesn’t sprout too far from the flower does it? I know I’ve posted these pix before but just found them again today and thought they were May Day material! THANKS MOM for hanging onto these old images….they mean the world to me
For as long as I can remember I have considered the entire month of May to be my birthday. It’s a magical time where the ground is coming to life and old plant friends come back to say hello once more!!
I used to give out May baskets full of goodies but this year I guess it will just have to be a virtual May Basket to all my special friends and my family
Have a glorious day everyone….. Sandra

Wow, you were such a cutie. I agree I think we have all grow and expanded over the years doing the things we really love to do. Thanks for sharing the great photos with us.
THANK YOU so much Billie for writing!!! I really am trying to be optimistic about this big 50..it’s hard but at the same time it’s easy to consider every day a gift and every thing I do in that time I was given…. an accomplishment. Have a great one my friend!!
As long as I have know you Sandy, how did I miss you were a May baby???? So am I! Happy May Day!

Hi Sandra,
I knew we had a special connection with so many similar interests…I too am a May baby (the 15th). When is your day? I always thought the whole month of May was my birthday too…we must have been celebrating together!!! Thanks for sharing those fabulous pictures. Have a great May!
Lois 🙂
Happy May Day Sandy! And Happy Birthday when the big day comes. Trust me… live starts beginning at 50 and when you hit 60 like I did the fun really starts! Retirement and more travel. But guess you are really doing the travel now.
Enjoy.. and thanks for the bit of spring today.
Happy May Day!! My kids delivered 13 May Day baskets early this a.m. A tradition I’ve passed on to them. I LOVE the pic of you as a young girl. Thanks for sharing, and happy 50th!! I remember when you turned 40, can’t believe it’s been 10 years . . . .
50 years and so much to do !
I gave Anne-Marie the present and she was so wrapped, she was looking at it and couldn’t beleive her luck. Her Mum is the receiver of presents that are jewellery, not usually her !
I’m sure she will write to you and i’ll take a few snaps to show off your amazing talent.
Have a great Month, will keep my eyes pealed for more posts !
Mari
Hello everyone!! Did you have a super May Day??? Oh how fun to see old friends popping up like spring flowers from the earth!!!!!
Yvette..OMG..I should have known we were both “bulls”…lol!!! Mine is on the 12th!!!!
Holy Cow..(or Taurus the bull)..you too Lois??? That is so cool. We should all have a virtual partay!!
Claudia…that is good news to hear!!!! this big 5-0 is a bit un nerving to think it’s been that many years. I feel 30……well except my bones tell me I’m not on a cold day…lol!
Oh Kris…so thrilled to see you and extra excited to hear you are carrying on the May basket tradition!!!! That was one of my favorite things to do until my kids moved out. I need to revive the traditon in my house even if it’s giving the dogs some posies and milkbones in a basket..lol. Kisses to Ivy for me!!!
Marius!!!!! Ohhhhhhh it’s so great to see you here!!!!!! I’m absolutely over the moon that Anne-Marie loved her pendant!! Yes I would love to see her wearing it. She must have been so excited. Hope all is well and I miss you on Flickr!!!
Hugs to all for taking the time to come visit me!!!!
Luv, Sandra
happy happy MAY MONTH!!! i too adore May, but Im an August baby, born in the heat of the Sun, under the sign of the Lion. But for me, May means new life, the smell of the earth, everything newborn and new ideas for artwork. i know it sure brings you to life with your garden and garden inspired Art!!!! you look like a pretty little exotic flower planted in Dad’s Garden…..you can tell the by the smile on your face, you are in your element. so darling!!!! and girl, fifty….its no problem. you look and feel 30 and thats what you are. as long as art and nature are a big part of your life, you stay YOUNG!!!!!
love, kath
