Carole asked us to list Ten Things I’m Looking Forward to in May. Easy Peasy.
First, some specific dates:
1. May 2: Last day of classes.
2. May 3-5: My brother and sister who live far away will be in town for the weekend.
3. May 7: Collect final portfolios from students. After that, a grading party, and I’m done teaching for the semester.
4. May 18: Neal and I celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary.
5. May 19-June 6: I visit Sara in France where we will celebrate our 30th year of friendship.
Now, some general lovely things I’m looking forward to in May:
6. I’m going to launch my first e-course. I’ve been working hard to transform my method of finding time to do what I want to do into something that will be useful to you. I can’t wait to share it!
7. Lilacs. Last summer Neal moved our lilac trees to a new, sunnier location, and I expect mounds of flowers this year. They look SO happy with their new homes!
8. Violet jelly. I’m hoping to pick my violets on Wednesday or Friday.
9. Mother’s Day. I haven’t quite decided la façon de célébrer ma mère (I’ve been practicing my French, see?!), but she has had a challenging year and deserves an extra-special day.
10. Did I mention school letting out? And my anniversary? And that adventure ahead of me? Yes. I think May is going to be a lovely month!
What are you looking forward to in May?
Sounds like May will be a great month for you!
oh a trip to France and a visit with a lifelong friend sound like wonderful things to look forward to in May. enjoy!
man! where to start?!
how excited for you to get to go visit your friend in france! and wedding anniversaries and summer vacation! woot! sounds promising 😀
Oo la la! Have fun in France!!
May 1st is my wedding anniversary (4 years!), we’re also packing up to move to a whole new part of the USA for us. I don’t think either one of us has ever lived in the Midwest. End of May is when I’m launching my Etsy store! May is going to be a great month for all of us.
aaahhhhhhh, France, have a wonderful time.
Thanks for link to violet jelly, last week I told the Farmer about it and we wondered how it was made.
Sounds likea great month! Happy ToT!
Ooh, violet jelly! I have never had that. We have tons of wild violets here b/c we live in the woods/clearing.
Oo la la! What a fun month you have coming up! Enjoy every moment.
Wooo hoooo! That trip will be here before you know it!
Yay for May! I’m looking forward to my allergies calming down and the peonies to bloom. Enjoy the trip!
