May.

May is good.

Too often it gets lost in the shuffle around here...what with Surtex falling smack dab in the middle of it and all.

But May is green. Really, really green. 

And I dig that.

And May smells like lilacs. No other month smells like lilacs. I mean, other months have other nice smells, but lilacs. Mmmm. Note to self: always remember to enjoy May even though I'm getting ready for the show. That might seem really obvious to most of you, but whole months really do disappear when preparing for this thing. Just like that. Whole months. No kidding.

But for right now, my bags are packed. Leaving for NY first thing in the morning. I'm excited about the show, but am already looking forward to the part of May that falls after I return home. The part where I catch up with my friends and family, work in the garden, start new projects...soak in the green-ness that is May.

Looking forward to catching up with you all then...because, remember, everything is always  perfect...after the show.

Ha ha - as I was reading this post I was thinking about how every year, leading up to every show, I have always had that thought: "After the Show" and planned to comment about that and here I get to the bottom of the post and you beat me to it, ha ha Isn't that the truth! I am happy to say that I am not saying that this year because i am skipping Surtex all together. I'll miss seeing everybody. So I'll wish you GOOD SHOW! (and hope you post a pic of your always beautiful booth) p.s. Love the simplicity of the art on this post. And I miss the smell of lilacs - we don't have them here in Florida. Or if we do, I haven't found them in all my years here!
