May:
The world’s favorite season is the spring.
All things seem possible in May.

Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
And through the blue heavens above us
The very clouds move on."

An adventure on a drizzling May afternoon:
Two of our neighbours goats have managed to break through the fence,
found their way into our garden!
Holla - Holla !
Doucement! Slow down!
I love our neighbours animals, love to talk to them and
in general I don't mind when they visit our garden - here and there...
as long as they behave - FINE !
We had young Cows, Chickens, Sheeps and all kind of "creatures",
it's always exiting.
And it looked like these goats could replace the lawn mower....
...eventually...
As I said - as long as they behave well....
...and not trying to climb up the Hazelnut tree or destroying my plants!
But then they came nearer and nearer...
*
...near to the beds....
*
...and when they started to trample into the beds
eating leaves and branches of my plants...
I had to tell them off !
Yes !
Don't look at me like this!
As lovely and interesting as you are...
It is not funny....
...and we are not amused at all!
Off you go !!!
*
*
We had adventures,
We had a lovely couple from Switzerland
who rented the Holiday house for the whole month of May
We had sunny days...
....clouded ones...

Spring is God’s way of saying,
‘One more time!'
‘One more time!'
