May 2016
 
May is a playful time. The animals are playing, and humans are starting to get back to outdoor play, as well.
Here's a playful sign I saw recently:
"Spring is here! I'm so excited I wet my plants!"
This is a photo of my beautiful granddaughter doing some plant watering:
How do you want to play this month?
