Hello and welcome to Garden Bloggers' bloom day where gardeners around the globe show what is blooming in their gardens. It has been hot and humid with heavy showers. I am looking forward to when the nights become cooler and the trade winds begin to do their thing. Meanwhile I just have to brave the heat and look for a shady spot to sit and daydream.  To see what is blooming in other people's gardens please visit Carol at May dreams gardens

Have a great week gardening!

Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!
It's May! It's May!
That gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad
Will be a cad!
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!

Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?
Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la!
