Ahhhhh, May. One of my favorite months of the year for so many reasons!

‍

🌷 Gorgeous flowers in bloom

💐 Warm, but not yet super hot and humid weather

🌺 Patio cocktailing

🌻 Mother's Day

🌸 A more dependable Mother Nature (aka more time spent outside)

🥀 Al fresco dining

🌼 Memorial Day weekend and the official start of pool and beach season

🌷 Everything feels fresh and alive!

My friend, Pamela, described May to me as the gentlest and most feminine month of the year, which I think sums it up so perfectly! And having lived in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, I can attest to the fact that this description applies whether it’s Spring or Fall. (Except, of course, for places like India where in May they're enduring scorching summer temperatures!)

In What Phase of the Moon Do You Exist?

Looking up at the tops of 9 trees, all full of vibrant orange, red and gold fall-colored leaves, set against a bright blue sky
