The Merry Month of May

What makes May so merry? 

Is it the explosion of flowers, or the symphony of birdsong, or just the warming sunlight that makes this time of year so gay?  There's only one way to find out--jump in and experience this month in all its glory.

Whether you choose to attend a full-blown May festival, leave a modest May Basket for the neighbors, or just take a moment to bury your nose in a cluster of apple blossoms, the traditions of the season will help put your energy in sync with the cosmos.  At the very least you'll have a bit of fun!

You can also start your own traditions (and memories) by gardening or just digging outside with your children.  Being out in Nature might even inspire the building of a Fairy House or two!

And if you're not sure what you want (or what to give) for Mother's Day, maybe this posting will inspire you.

However you choose to make merry this month, we hope you'll visit us often here at Family Year.   Thanks for coming!


Welcome to Family Year!
