May in Maine is always a bit unpredictable—one day feels like summer, the next could bring a surprise snowfall. But no matter the weather, May is one of my favorite months. After a long, cold winter, it’s refreshing to watch trees budding, flowers blooming, and the landscape coming alive with green again. Here are five little joys of spring worth celebrating!

1. Cherry Blossoms

The trees in our neighborhood are gorgeous right now! Get outside and take a walk during the golden hour (staying 6-feet apart, of course). Snap some photos of these beauties because they are already starting to pass.

2. Greenhouse Visits

Spring is the perfect time to visit your local greenhouse and pick up some new plant pals. I love hanging planters, so I couldn't resist picking up a Fuchsia along with more succulents!

3. Spring Clothing

Spring weather means you can finally pack away the sweaters and transition into your warmer weather wardrobe. I changed out my jackets for my lighter ones!

4. Spring Sights

We noticed some birds making a nest right outside our kitchen window. While I had the birds standing still for me, I had to snap a picture or two!

5. Spring Cleaning

Although cleaning is not necessarily my favorite, I do enjoy it when our house is clean and organized. Last weekend we reorganized a lot of our furniture so everything seems more orderly and less cluttered. Rosie, our cat really likes the new arrangement too as you can see!
