May
Named after the Roman goddess, Maia, in the northern hemisphere it is full effect if spring. The temperature show up with a dramatic temperature increase. Not steamy hot, but very pleasant. This month has some great calendar days such as:
May or also called “Lei Day” in Hawaii that celebrates the first of May. Then there is Cinco De Mayo, a day of victory over the French in 1862. This is a cultural holiday in Mexico and many cities and towns in the USA. It is highlighted with food, drink, music, and dancing.
Other special days deal with military and political events such as Armed Forest Day, National Maritime Day, and Victoria Day in Canada. Memorial Day on May 27 reminds us that others sacrificed to enable us, as Americans, to remember them on that day by flying the American flag properly.
Mother’s Day, which should be celebrated more than one day, is a national appreciation for Moms.
For our readers who like to celebrate other days during the month may be interested in School Principals’ Day, World Tuna Day, No Socks Day (that is celebrated by some year-roundI), and Dance Like a Chicken Day.
May’s birth flowers are the Hawthorn and the Lily-of-the-Valley. The birthstone is the emerald. For those who check out our source, there is far more information about the month and many historical facts.
I said it in the past, May is a Marvelous Month!
