The May Queen is waiting.
Move with her in sacred dance
Living earth is breathing.
Loving through the night in the bright moonlight,
As seedlings open with the rain.
~Ruth Barren
Yes, I will spend the livelong day
With Nature in this Month of May..,
~William Henry Davies
Among the changing months,
May stands confest
the sweetest,
and in fairest colors dressed.
~James Thomson
Spring’s last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet,
Pauses a a moment, with white twinkling feet,
And golden locks in breezy play,
Half teasing and half tender, to repeat
Her song of May.
~Susan Coolidge
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people and plants of the field to everyone. ~Zechariah 10:1 ✝
Thank you, Jesus, that you save, you heal, you restore, and you reveal Your Father’s heart to us! You have captured me with grace and I’m caught in Your infinite embrace!
I think you must never go in the house–I bet you even sleep out in that oasis of yours. . .eh? 😉

Ya know, I probably would sleep out there if it weren’t for the raccoons and possums and possible human vile critters afoot. Hugs, Natalie 🙂

Thank you. It is lovely this time of year, but here in Texas the heat of July and August puts an end to a lot of the loveliness. Blessings, Natalie 🙂

Tra la, it’s May, the lusty month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it’s here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It’s May, it’s May, that gorgeous holiday
When every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad
It’s mad, it’s gay, a libelous display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes, the lusty month of May
