  1. Oh, to be in Wessex, now that May is there - Maypoles; Morris Dancing; Hern the Hunter. Instead I'm in Finland, so it is a plain old 'worker's holiday, and marches by the communists and extreme left wing - yeach!!

  2. Your interesting fact is that no other month starts on the same weekday as May. I have never worked that out before and I think it also applies in leap years! Now what can we do with that information?

  3. We had thunderstorms and torrential rain over in the UK today - seems like April is a little late! jae

  4. How fitting that it should have its own day for beginning. May is such a wonderful month...my favorite, I think.

  5. All of those things ring May to me (except I am unfamiliar with Preakness Stakes? you'll have to forgive this ice-dwelling Canadian!)
