May we?

May we dance once more now that spring is full upon us

May we revel in the moonlight on magnolia blossoms…large and white as china saucers, scenting the air with sweet perfume

May we stroll the shore as white crested waves rush to roll about bare feet and erase all track of what is left behind

May we begin again…with renewed hope, and grace, and determination in choosing the path before us

May we dance

Another Beginning

A new month….April is past and May is upon us! Wow! how did that happen so quickly?  The year is flying past.

Edits on my ms are progressing well, albeit more slowly than I had hoped.  In just two weeks it is off to the beta readers …at least the part that is completed.  A little scary, but hopefully it hangs together well enough to get some encouraging input as well as corrections for me to work on.

The vegetable garden is planted and has expanded into pots. Potato bags have been ordered and as soon as they arrive the root crops will be completed.

Meanwhile, it is a gorgeous beginning to May in the Lowcountry.  Mid 80s, sunshine, occasional rain (no need to water said garden!) and both gardenias and jasmine in bloom so everything smells amazing.  The magnolia is showing its first color and will be filled with sweet white flowers in a week or so.

I do so love the pristine beauty of our white spring flowers… gardenia
