May : The Merry Month

It was the Mother's Day that brought with it a blender that can make fresh hot soup.  There was a hike to Stonyman Summit and when my son bought me flowers.  There was a bluebird, a luna wing, a hawk feather, the first bass of the season, and 17 year cidadas that came 4 years too early.  There was crops in the garden and the locust trees that flung their blooms to the earth and scented the air otherworldly.  There was the wonder of Wonder, and a new recipes destined to become old favorites.  But most of all, there was the planning of a 12th birthday party!!!
