The month of May is filled with so much anticipation. After watching our perennials peek above ground in March and make their way skywards April, buds are opening and we are seeing some real color in our flower beds! The cool weather is keeping the pollinator action on the low side, and blossoms seem to be running about 2 weeks behind where they were this time last year, but it’s thrilling to see all Mother Nature’s beautiful creations taking shape, with so much more to come.
