May Altar
May is the start of summer and the month of May has always been a month where we pray to Our Lady. There is a lovely old Irish tradition of making a May altar. You could have it in a window or on a little shelf, it doesn't have to be big. On it, you could have a picture of Mary (draw one if you don't have one!).
Children would gather flowers and decorate the altar and remember to say their prayers each day. Pope Francis has asked us all to make a big effort to pray the rosary.
I will make a May altar and share a picture with you. Anyone who would like to try this as well, I'd love to see what you make!
Here is a link about a wildflower that was always on our May altar as children, they are in bloom now.

Vivienne's outdoor game!
We as a family were chopping wood and dad decided to make new Xs and Os like we did before. First I got the axe and chopped a nice piece. Then I got a ruler and pen to make lines for the squares. After dad got the chainsaw and cut out the lines neatly. Later we found two long sticks one thick and one thin/thinner and cut five of each. The difference between the two sticks is the size.You can paint them to see the difference. Xs and Os is a fun game. You can make it small so it is portable.
