Welcome to May, the month that celebrates moms and flowers, wraps up the school year, launches graduates of all ages and stages, and inaugurates summer with its exit. May 1st, or May Day is the second cross-quarter day of the year, traditionally known as Beltane and celebrated as a time of fertility and growth. But beyond the cultural observances and celebrations, what is May? In this episode, Mary talks about low waste alternatives in a season of high consumption, bee swarm season, and gardening by the signs of the moon. She also talks about how all the celebrations of May can be complicated, stressful and sad for some people, how to embrace slow living through this busy time as a means of self care, and how to find your May, the one that brings you the joy of flowers and warmer days.
