May Holidays and Observances

Isn’t the saying supposed to go ‘April Showers bring May Flowers’?  Well the way this first day of May is starting out, they might need to change it to ‘May Showers’!  It was a gloomy, rainy day and the next couple of days bring a 60% chance of rain, too!  Hoping it clears and the flowers start blooming soon!  Makes for much better pictures 😉  Although rainy day pictures with rain boots, umbrellas and splashing in puddles are fun, too!!!

Here are the bizarre, crazy, silly, unknown, strange, unusual, weird, etc etc Holidays & Observances of May!  Find the previous months’ lists here: January, February, March, April
