May Day!


At one time it was the custom to hang baskets filled with flowers on friends' doors on the morning of May 1. (There's a link HERE to a NPR story about this.)


Please consider this my virtual May basket to you! (And remember to get wet in the first rain of May to ensure good health for the year.)

I love the idea of receiving your basket of flowers today. Thanks so much. And I do still have raindrops on my screen from the rain last night! I'd say they count.

Thank you Vicki. I think the basket hanging is a very pretty idea. What lovely flowers.

I think I'd get pneumonia if I got wet today. It's freezing here, the coldest May Day I can remember for a long time. Giving flowers is a lovely celebration. Thank you for these.

We'd be hard-pressed to find enough flowers for our doors on May Day here, but they are coming along.
