This year I was able to enjoy not only May Day and a pep rally complete with full moon, bon fire, drumming and outdoor band of youth grades 7-12 with their families and cook-out all enlivening the spirits of young and old...but got to wish someone close to me a Happy 50th and enjoy my own Special Day for 51 Year-Olds on this date, 5-1.

In the MA Shoppers Guide online, I will run an  ad for 5-7 and 5-14 to wish folks well (especially Moms who are keen on helping each other but they are an example for US-all).

In addition to the title of this post, I wrote up on a piece of paper as I have for

Google some spring peeper or frog videos or photos of little critters enjoying this time of year and vernal pools. I have found tiny frogs on my car, on trees and of course on the ground. One toad was ready to hop in my house, staying on the slate patio.Some can be found on White Memorial Conservation Center in Litchfield CT.

Or see some books in the library and collect a few to have around the house for inspiration when it's hard to get outdoors, even a calendar can be a reminder of the great garden we share in nature.
