The Half-Merry Month of May

I can’t believe it, but we are already half-way through my favourite month.

Why, it seems as though it was only yesterday when I found myself singing the praises of the month of May. How can the last fourteen days have slipped by so nondescriptly?

I suppose I should count my blessings and make the most of the next sixteen days. At midnight on the 31st, we’ll have slipped through this gentle, magical period for yet another year and the echoes of spring will rapidly fade away as the summer aggressively takes over our lives.
