Happy May Day neighbors! On this special day of spring celebration, I’m delighted to share with you this reminder of the important areas to focus on this month.
May is a great month to:
– find deals on handbags, jewelry, spring outerwear, tires, and rugs.
– snag clearances on baskets, sleepwear, candy, and after Mother’s Day items.
– celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some fabulous mexican-inspired dishes. Here’s a few to get your taste-buds heading south:
Tequila Lime Barbecue Ribs, Nacho Casserole and Margarita Guacamole
Jackfruit Enchilada Casserole
– celebrate the Kentucky Derby in style and avoid harmful rays while out in the garden with a great big sunhat!
Also be sure to try Rural Mom’s Double Chocolate Bourbon and Sorghum Brownies created for derby day gatherings.
– celebrate Moms! Be sure to thank and show appreciation for all the great “moms” in your life whether family or friends.
– let some fresh air in and finishing your spring cleaning!
– tend to your floral plants – prune forsythias (after they have flowered,) fertilize rose plants, begin to plant annuals, hang baskets of flowers and sew seeds for summer florals.
– plan any needed home improvements. Does the barn need painting? Do the decks need scrubbing? Gather up supplies and set a date to begin each project.
– finalize arrangements for summer vacation, summer camps, or expected road trips. With Memorial Day celebrations commencing soon, summer is right around the bend!
