What happened to May?

It's June 1st!  May was a busy month with projects, my birthday (chapter 58), two graduations, Memorial Day weekend and 9 glorious days off of work. 😉 This post is my brain and camera dump of it all.  

A few weeks ago, we had a bunny have babies in our yard behind the shed.  It was the cutest thing seeing these two tiny little creatures running around our yard.  They have gone off on their own now, I think, but the mom is staying put.  All of the houses around us have dogs so she is a pretty smart bunny. We can be outside, and she isn't afraid of us at all. This is her enjoying free time laying out under the old red bud.  She stays under there for hours.  I think it is a good shelter away from hawks.

This bush is one of my favorites and I don't even know what it is.  It always blooms in the middle of May. The blossoms smell so divine, and the bees just love it.  Bonus points if you know what kind of a bush this is.

The farmers market opened up, so we've been enjoying springs snap peas, radishes and lettuce.  It was so good to see my favorite farmer.  We talked about the cold, wet winter and spring. He was also selling flower baskets, and they were all so gorgeous, so one had to come home with me.

In my last post I told you about the Commons that opened up in our downtown area.  They had a grand opening, and this was a photo taken of the area from a drone.  It's really a great addition to our town.

I've spent quite a bit of time sitting outside reading. I've read Love, Loss and What We Ate by Padma Laksmi.  The Little Giant of Aberdeen County and The Gilly Salt Sisters both by Tiffany Baker. All three were really good books that I enjoyed.  Yesterday I started Keeper and Kid by Edward Hardy and I'm enjoying it too.

When I have to go to our sister hospital which is about 25 minutes away, I've passed this place called Farm Market. It's a building by the roadside of the owner's property.  I decided to stop and see what they had and I'm SO glad I did. It's a cute little building with fresh veggies, baked goods, and tons of other goods. I was starving so I ordered a bite to get me through the rest of the day.  They served me the best turkey sandwich I think I've ever had on the best Amish bread I've ever eaten.  When I told her the bread was amazing, she gave me the recipe and now it is my go-to sandwich bread. (I've already made it twice) TBG loves it as much as I do. The inside is just so soft.

A delicious chicken fajita nacho plate at Los Azteca in Louisville Kentucky.  One of my favorite places to go to.  Talk about an amazing downtown area!

I hope everyone is well and has been enjoying Spring.
