Things to Watch Out For in May
(There will be new things to watch out for all month long - check back often!)

by Cleo Robertson

We are now entering the magical months of summer. So much wildlife and weather activity is going on all around us—fish and dolphins have had their babies and are teaching them to feed, jump and have fun. Flowers and trees are springing out in bloom everywhere, particularly gardenias, jasmine and the blue Jacaranda tree.

 

At sunset one evening as we waited to ring the bell in Pass-a-Grille at the Paradise Grille, I heard some people complaining about all the wind in May. What these people didn’t realize is that the wind is essential. It strengthens the tree limbs, particularly palms, so when a hurricane comes they are strong. The wind also brings in lots of shells, egg sacks from shells and other treasures. And the best part of this month? Swimming can be an everyday event. Welcome to May in Paradise.
