May is finally here. In Wisconsin, May IS springtime. It's when everything comes to life again after the long winter. March is only a name on a calendar, certainly not springtime. April is just a tease, but May is seriously ushering us into summer. Sunday afternoon was brilliant, with its blue skies, puffy white clouds, and grass growing so fast that Mr. C. was out mowing. I love this time of year.
Right now the woods is carpeted with May flowers!

All of these pictures were taken within a few miles of our farm.
This is one of my favorite farms on Highway O. I see it every time I go to Rice Lake, and I love it when their cows are put out on pasture after the interminable winter is finally over.
We will be in the Kickapoo Valley of Wisconsin for a bit of this week, so I don't know if I will get another blog post in or not. We'll see how it goes. I will most likely miss Joyce's Hodgepodge on Wednesday, always a fun challenge. But of course there's always Instagram, which is easy and fast and more portable. So if you like to follow the photos of Wisconsin, I should be posting some on there while I'm gone. If you're not on Instagram, I think you can view them on my sidebar.
I hope you all have a wonderful week and sunny skies.

At some point, I will hopefully get this post linked to Theresa's Good Fences and Tom's Barn Collective.
