May

  I tried to write this post days ago but blogger wasn't working so I will write it now. 
We all know that May is the fifth month of the year, is spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn down here in the south. In fact May, in the Southern Hemisphere, is what November is to the north so when I tell you I was born in November, think of May. :-).


The flower for May is the Lily of the Valley


The birth stone is an emerald

Here are some quotes and sayings for May: Mostly all folk lore and superstition, but it's interesting.


 Apparently May is considered an unlucky month to get married in--what a pity!

"A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;" - from an English folk rhyme

"What potent blood hath modest May." -Ralph W. Emerson

"A wet May makes a big load of hay. A cold May is kindly and fills the barn finely."
