Last weekend was my lovely book group and it was our first gathering of the season in the gardens at Susan's. I could go over there weekly and never tire of taking pictures of her wonderful garden.
I'm finding that May is routinely becoming a very busy month. This year I did the Race for the Cure again and it was an incredibly beautiful morning. We had SO much fun. And we stopped afterward and had a yummy breakfast at great little cafe in the Arena district.
(Sarah's - I would never eat such an atrocity of calories! ;)

This week started some of the final count down stuff at schools. Ella had crazy hat day on Monday. She pulled out the perfect hat. Tuesday was mismatch/backwards day and she wore striped pants and flowered shirt - both backwards. But i forgot to take a picture of that.
This week has also been "first corn on the cob eating" week. Yay for Florida corn! It was yummy and made Silas very happy (something that has been very hard to do these days...)!
And speaking of corn, we also planted our own this year. When we first plant the garden it's so disappointing - how barren it looks. But I know within a month it will be absolutely bursting. We planted some corn, 3 kinds of tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, beets, snap peas, lettuce, some herbs...and we have a rhubarb plant the size of Texas. Looks like a big weed!
I was able to sneak out last week and take a few pictures - lilies, a bull frog hiding in the grass at Tara's,
we have a nest and eggs in our shrub, some gorgeous roses have been blooming and I finally planted some pots and hanging baskets.
