The Merry Month of May

Well, this Merry Month of May started off with the coldest spell that I've ever had in my 20 years of living in France (for a spring that is)! 

Yesterday, the Broom and Hawthorne in Bloom had snowflakes dusting the petals. And all the shrubs in the garden had their heads drooping under heavy cristal raindrops.

The beautiful old Hawthorne tree at the bottom of our fields looking like a bridal bouquet

But somehow this does not curb the increbdible joy in the air. Birds twittering away from early morning, the nightlark singing his song when you put on a light in the middle of the night, ants scurrying around, deer grunting and galloping in the fields. 

A lovely lively lushness all around!

And this morning when I started my post, I had a peep at Anali's blog and found this:

"I asked her what her secret was to living to 80 years old and remaining beautiful and young-looking. She told me that she loved the outdoors, and she loved beautiful things. 'I just like looking at beautiful things.'"

Anali again was inspired by this incredible lady, Karen Walrond :

And this just made me realise once again how powerful sharing really is! Real sharing - even of little things. And that's why I love sharing with you - especially the 'beautiful things' like the words of the 2 ladies above!

And may the sun of the merry month of May share her rays with us again!

Life is about sharing
