May 2023 in Pictures

May is an amazing month for the senses. The birds are back and happily chirping. We see green grass and leaves covering the tree branches again. The colors of daffodils, irises, and tulips are everywhere. Their glorious fragrances fill the air, and we can finally feel the sun warming everything around us. If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, you are also feeling a few raindrops, but it’s all good. Welcome spring and happy Mother’s Day to everyone who fills that space in a child’s life. We treasure you! Enjoy May 2023 in Pictures from This Awful Awesome Life!
