Happy May Day

Happy May Day everyone.  As a child my mother and I would gather spring flowers from the yard and take them as bouquets to my grandmother and to our neighbors.  It was always so fun to bring a little of spring beauty to people that we loved.

May Day Baskets

This is just a reminder to everyone that tomorrow is the First Day of May, or May Day. As a child every year on May 1, my mother would help us gather flowers from the yard, then we would make bouquets and deliver them around to the neighbors, my grandmother and my aunts. She would help us wrap them with ribbons and fix them so that they would not dry out. Delivering the colorful bouquets always seemed to mark spring and the beginning of warmer days. We would wrap our flowers in paper cones but a small basket would be cute to. Think about it is there anyone that you would like to give a touch of spring to? Happy May Day!
