Happy May Day! In reflecting on my own childhood, I remember May Day fondly. My poor mother as she had to come to the door acting surprised multiple times throughout the day. We would secretively leave her bouquets of wild flowers from the pasture or pretty yellow dandelions on the door step, knock on the door, and then run and hide. I know now that she could hear us giggling as we watched from behind a tree or around the corner of the the house, loving the surprised reaction she would have for us each time! Here is my Happy May Day Basket to all of you! Have a great day. Ms. Grey
