For the spring is flying and the month is May

​For the spring is flying and the month is May. 
 Mary N. Prescott

​That's the last line penned in a poem by Mary N. Prescott (reproduced below) from "Rhymes from Mother Goose".  An absolutely enchanting child's book printed in 1903 by the W.B Conkey Company, with the promise: "arranged to please the boys and girls" and "with pictures that will amuse the children".

Sweet fragrant apple blossoms

​April showers did indeed bring May flowers to the Grove.  Not quite as stunning as last year's spring but as promised by Margaret Elizabeth Sangster, "Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom."
