Hurray! Your May 2022 Wallpaper/Calendar is here!

Have I ever shared about my fondness for lilacs that dates all the way back to my school days? Back when I lived in Illinois, along about 7th grade, I believe, I threw a party to which I invited my entire homeroom class. Such parties that included one’s entire homeroom were common Jr. High-age Friday-night activities where I lived, so we always had something fun (and safe) to occupy our Friday nights. Music, dancing, food, and the host’s parents… all were always included, of course. When my turn to host rolled around, it was May 13th. “Friday, the 13th”. And the lilacs were in full bloom. So between their abundance and the fact that they represented one of my favorite colors, I decorated the entire downstairs with armloads of flowers and fragrance. Along with a ladder my guests had to walk under to enter the house, and a large open umbrella that sat without incident over in the corner. And Herman’s Hermits’ hits on the turntable, of course. 

That house was the last I ever lived in that had lilac shrubs, unfortunately. But I still count them among my very favorite flowers to this day, and you may have noticed they tend to show up in my wallpaper/calendar designs every May!

My monthly desktop wallpaper & calendar offers you a pretty seasonal picture to customize and brighten your computer monitor. But that’s not all. It also includes a handy monthly calendar, and the web address at the bottom represents a quick, one-stop reference to all the common areas on the web you may want to visit when connecting with my business.  This monthly wallpaper design is FREE to download and install, so please don’t hesitate to share this page with your friends and family.

How to download & install your May 2022 Wallpaper/Calendar

Note: You’ll probably want to consult your own computer operating system’s installation instructions, but installing the background image on my Windows 10 system took just 3 quick steps – and less than a minute. It’s super-duper easy-peasy! (Windows 11 seems to work pretty much the same way, as well.)

Here’s how you can (probably) do it, too.

    1. Decide which version you’d like to download. If you’d like to download the higher-res version of this wallpaper/calendar, left-click here and this month’s image should open. (It might take a few moments to fully appear.) Locate and select the download option (probably somewhere near the upper-left of your screen) and save the image to your computer, renaming it as you wish. OR… if you’d prefer the standard-resolution version, left-click here to open the image. Then right-click on the image and save it to your computer, renaming it as appropriate.
    2. Once the file has been downloaded, named, and saved, click on your saved image to open it.
    3. Once open, right-click on the image and select “Set as” > “Set as Background”….. then right-click on the image again and select “Set as” > “Set as Lock screen”. And poof! That’s all there is to it! (For convenience, I recommend you install this on both your desktop system and your laptop. Assuming you still have such things these days, of course!)

Tips for other operating systems:

And in case you may have an operating system OTHER than Windows 10 (or 11), you may find these installation tips helpful:

  2. Apple Mac: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Desktop-Background-on-an-Apple-Macintosh-Computer  

Finally, please keep in mind that the format of my monthly image is designed for most modern-day 16:9 monitors (a common format for monitors and HD TV’s since about 2009), oriented in landscape format. (If your monitor displays 1920 x 1080 pixels, or 2560 x 1440 pixels, it should work fine.) If you’re working with an older monitor (and/or one that’s more square-ish in format), or your monitor is set up in portrait format or some other variation, the picture will likely not work for you. And unfortunately, I am unable to trouble-shoot individual systems’ incompatibility challenges. Sorry!
