May has come and gone, leaving us with the feeling that a spring month has been stolen from us. The poem says April showers bring May flowers but this year the showers were few and our weather has been dry and hot. In this area our two best months for comfortable climate are usually May and October. The weather is neither too hot or too cool.
I have this memory of my childhood -- that May 3l is pleasant for working in the fields but June l is hot, hot. Of course school was out at the end of May and part time work became full time. June was an important month for the crops. Dad used to say that one inch of rain every week during the month was perfect for the cotton and corn. This is starting out to be our third dry, hot summer. Last year I gave up on the lawn, letting the St. Augustine battle the drouth, fungus and crab grass.
