The month of May is named after the Greek goddess of the earth, Maia. May Day, or the Gaelic festival of Beltane, marks the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Our landscape is now transforming itself once again into myriad and subtle hues of green as our hemisphere of the earth is slowly and continually tilting more and more toward the sun and our days are getting warmer and longer as a result.
