Happy weekend, and happy new month! May has to be one of our favourite months –
flowers are blooming, trees are budding, the sun is setting later, and spring projects are
being made, hello gardens and home renos. May is a good month, and the events happening
across our communities this weekend are a great way to kick start the month. Whatever
you get up to this weekend, whether it is a community event or a household project, have a
fun!
