I love to travel in May. The weather is great, the airfares are (relatively) low and the little squirts are still in school. Let me re-phrase that: I used to love to travel in May. Now a day off means doing some serious business in the yard. I spent nine hours today in the vegetable garden (after re-habbing perennial beds for six yesterday) and can barely move. And I’m only half finished! In the same amount of time I could have taken a flight from New York to Venice. Oh well, at least I won’t go hungry this summer.

Instead of my typical musings I am copping out and posting a few photos of “How GardenLass Spent Her May Vacation That Wasn’t But Could Have Been.”
