It's May!

Ah, the first day of May. Apparently, it's a holiday around here, too, though a less formal one than perhaps Easter. Since it fell on a Sunday this year, it seemed to be marked only by people selling little posies of spring flowers.

I approve of this holiday. Of course, I am particularly fond of the month of May. It was also a beautiful Sunday today, and the roses bushes around CERN have started blooming, and I finally got my balcony garden assembled, so celebrating spring has my vote.

See my little garden?
I went with geraniums this year, because I felt like. I even got some pinky, fuchsia-y ones; while I don't wear pink under any normal circumstances, I think the geraniums pull it off splendidly. My strawberry plants survived the winter, and are coming back strong.

And to top it all off, behold, my first rose bud of the season.
Happy May Day!
