Rejoicing

 I am certainly rejoicing in the beauty that comes with the lovely month of May.  Everything that was barren and brown now is verdant with fresh life.

These peonies are just bursting to open.  It is exciting to watch them unfold.

The vibrant Baltimore Orioles have returned for the season.  They are keeping me busy with supplying grape jelly and oranges.

 It would not be spring without a few pansies in the bunny cart.

   Even Gunny is enjoying this special time of the year.

Well hope all of you are rejoicing in the "Merry Month of May".   Have a blessed rest of the week.

Hugs

Debbie

Precious Days

May is filled with precious days.  Generally the weather at Harmony Hills is lovely...not too hot and not too cold.  

As you can see in the above photo the Baltimore Orioles have arrived.  They are here from May to the end of July.  I am kept busy with slicing oranges and filling up bowls of jelly.  They are gorgeous birds.  Naturally the male's coloring is more flamboyant than the female but both catch your eye when they visit.

Pink Bleeding Heart are in bloom.  Their heart shape forms make me want to pick up a paint brush.

This yellow daylily is the first to make a show.  Its petals last only a day.  Perhaps that is why it is so precious.

Woodland Hyacinths may be small but they do not go unnoticed.  They enjoy a patch in the shade which brightens the garden.

The wallflowers are adding color to the veggie patch.  Soon they will keep company with the beets and lettuce that were just planted. 

Last but not least  the blackberries are in blossom.  Hopefully they will bear lots of delicious fruit.

Yes, May is full of many precious moments.  Hope you are enjoying this special month.

Hugs

A Delightful Challenge

 Kathy at Catching Happiness has created a Daily Delight challenge for the month of May.  She and I have been blogging buddies for years.  Always look forward to reading her posts.  If you have not stopped by to visit just click on the above link to check out her blog.  I am excited to participate.  Hope perhaps some of you will join in. 

May brings so many delights.  I will try not to bore you as there are more than enough to fill this month's calendar.

The yellow daylilies in this photo certainly are ones that must be noted.

  

 Billowing sheets in the breeze is another favorite.

The colorful Baltimore Oriole who is here visiting.

Oh and of course the return of the hummers.  They never fail to bring a smile.

The last, I promise,

Kelsey who turn two this month.

Thank you for allowing me to share some of my daily delights.

Please take time to tell me a few of yours.

Hugs!

May Happenings

 Here are just a few of May happenings.

Yes Mrs. Hummer has returned.  She and her friends are keeping me quite busy with  the making of sweet nectar.

That sliver of orange is a our Baltimore Oriole.  He likes to visit not only his feeder but the Hummers as well.

The bunny cart got filled this weekend with some favorite annuals.  She had been looking kind of lonely but now she has some company.

Snap Dragons and violas don't mind if a night turns chilly.  In fact they seem to prefer cooler weather.

Skies at dusk this time of the year are delightful.  I never tire of "looking up".

Speaking of looking up, one could not miss this full moon.   

Well these are just a few of May happenings at Harmony Hills.

I will be stopping by to visit each of you and find out what might be happening in your part of the world.

Hugs

Debbie

P.S. Will not be here next week because we will be involved in a special event...our nephew is getting married.   God willing - will return in two weeks.    Have a lovely end of the month.
