May Day at Home and in the Garden

Our Maypole.

Harriet the fox by Ben Kirk welcoming in the May

The wreath gets decked out for May—buds from pruning the Cornus kousa and artificial flowers

The wonderfully fragrant Viburnum carlesii. I love watching the flowers slowly open.

Flowering quince on the back deck.

Grape hyacinth among the books

Myrtle in a glass basket on the bathroom shelf

In the dining room. I love this vase my daughter bought at Oldies Marketplace.
