My Life on the Mississippi

May 2024

Finally, we have some more normal weather, rain, sunshine, normal temperatures and things begin to grow, and leaf, and blossom as we would expect.

And we begin to see different birds like orioles which we rarely see,

And robins which are normal for spring and summer.

Things begin to bloom, like the flowering crab near our house,

And the rhododendron,

And the apple trees.

In the garden we have early small iris.

And there are always lilacs,

And the lily of the valley.

Late in the month we have the time that the poplars bloom filling the air and the grass with fluff.

Finally, the yard is ready for viewing from the deck or patio.

There is always a time for natural beauty like the trees on the island in the river,

And the full moon.
