:: what do may flowers bring?





inspired by a post over at the baker's daughter-- i found myself pondering what "may" has meant to me so far. six days deep and i can already attest that may means::


cute ballet flats
silky scarves
mugs of chai tea and coffee near an open screen door
3D movies with the greatest kids on earth
catch-up breakfasts at dive diners
flowers. and sprouts. and gardening
sun-kissed skin
thick novels
the revival of the sundress
$6 leggings from target
documentaries
chicago trip planning
breaths of fresh air that fill your lungs from top to bottom
finding community
crepes at garden tables
sunglasses & sandals
smoothies
thought-provoking podcasts
slap-happy midnight shifts
playlists featuring james brown. steve martin. sandra mccracken.
florence + the machine. and needtobreathe


what has may meant to you?

  9. So far, May has been:
    Running further
    Sore shoulders
    seeing old friends
    planning a road trip
    wasting time at work
    Learning how NOT to kill my plants
    Pad Thai
    Biggest fight ever
    positive thinking
    learning not to sweat the small stuff
    bathtime
    finding my old favorite talk radio program back on the air

  10. Aww, I have been listening to Florence + the Machine lately, too! We have these CDs from Radio One that are all cover songs, there's one of them doing a cover of Beyonce's "Halo." One word = awesome!

  11. What an uplifting list - thanks. So far May has meant leaves on the trees (finally) and a feeling that we've turned the corner here in Scotland after a long winter. Ultimately this year May will mean commemorating the 1st anniversary of the death of my beloved grandfather as a family. xx
