When May comes around every year, I get excited. I like warmer weather. Nicer weather motivates me to get more done. I can usually start planting my garden in May because the ground has warmed up enough to not kill the plants or seeds.

Disclaimer: I was given a copy and asked to review this book. The opinions of this review are mine.
