The Official Color of May...........

Yep!  Every month should have its official color.  Cool icy white in January.  A deep russet orange in October.  And May .............. is purple.

Years ago, I used to go the Merchandise Mart in Chicago on a regular basis.  One of my friends would ask me to stop by a news stand and pick up "purple gum".  Purple gum smelled like potpourri.  And that is what May is all about .......... it smells Purple!

From the Forest Pansy Red Bud..........

To the fuzzy blooms of chives............. (I must make some chive vinegar!)

To the light lavender of old fashioned lilacs...........

To blue ...................

Deep purple ................

Even white suddenly becomes .........purple!

The yard has that unmistakable smell of purple.

Tucked into corners.......... 

 

Hanging from trees.........

May is bursting its official color everywhere!!!  Way to go, Maggie!!!!  Now if we could only get that time tunnel built!
