I love May, one of my favourite months of the years. All the trees, shrubs, and flowers are feverishly coming up through the soil, or their limbs are sprouting. Spring is the début, as they each put on their show of bloom., only for the curtain to fold for another year, particularly the ephemerals. The migratory song birds are all here now with one thing on their mind sex! They sing their lungs out , and display to attract the females, they feed them insects, and seeds, build their nests, and lay their eggs. My backyard feeder, and trees are alive with beautiful songs, and vibrant colours, as is the garden.
