Margaritas and lawn mowing, they came with May.

May meant baby shower time for my pastor's daughter, and here is the cake I was commissioned to make. {I did not host this party, but my friend Jessica did, and you can see more baby shower photos here at my Flickr account. It was so very cute.}

May meant it was time to do something with the amazing antique copper boiler the previous homeowner left behind.

In May you can start buying flowers to plant.

May--specifically Mother's Day--means Colorado's last frost. It snowed the day after Mother's Day this year. Figures.

May meant this guy turned 10 months old. Can you believe it? Neither can I.

May is the perfect month for big sisters to teach their little sisters how to ride a tricycle.

So there was a lot of bicycle bell ringing on our back porch. And side ponytails, lots of those these days too.

Lots of grilling opportunities, as well as chances to revisit your favorite summer recipes, May brings with it.
I can't remember the last family meal we had inside at our dining room table. The back porch is too lovely to stay away from. {I'm writing this post up there now, in fact.}




May allowed for warm, chicken ranging weather. They like to hunt bugs in the bushes, the girls bring them worms and moths that they catch.

Our first May in our new home meant watching the flowers that we didn't know were there bloom.

May also happened to be the month we put the finishing touches on our chicken coop. Or rather, Justin finished the chicken coop. Next post, I'll show you more. It turned out sort of cute.


Happy June! I turn 30 this month, on the first day of summer.

Cheers,
Heather
