Sourey lhien! (Summer is here!)

Greetings for Laa Boaldyn - (Boaldyn in Manx, Bealtaine in Ireland and Bealltainn in Scottish Gaelic).. Happy May Day.

I must admit I find the midpoint seasonal change feels closer to actual weather than the equinoxes and solstices.

In my mind summer starts in mid-May when we begin to prepare for the TT!

Meanwhile we're getting snow flurries...

Enjoy your day.

Poor you - let's hope they are the very last ones of this winter.

Blessed Beltane! Someone working the Persephone Farm stand at the market wished me a happy one on Saturday, which is the first time I think that's ever happened. *g*
