May Day!







Mornin'! What a lovely "May Day"! Known as the Festival of Flora (Roman Goddess of Flowers), the earliest May Day was celebrated pre-Christian times. This goddess will spend most of her day continuing to work on my flowers and garden. Many cultures and countries celebrate today as "International Workers Day" or "Labour Day" or a traditional "Public Holiday." I just know Wildwood is experiencing a bright, sunny, quiet, gorgeous, Sunday morning. The island birds sure know it's all of that as they shout it to the world. It's 47° with no breeze in the air or clouds in the sky. Temps will rise to the mid-upper 60's as breezes will pick up this afternoon from the NNE at 10-15mph. Clear skies give way to some rain clouds later today. There's a 30% chance of showers this evening into the overnight and start of tomorrow. High tide: 7:36a.m.; Low tide: 1:20p.m.; Ocean Temp: 60°; 50 days until Summer! Do some planting today...perhaps something in honor of those suffering in our South who have suffered from the deadly tornadoes this week.
