May Day

 Happy First day of May or May Day

   When I was a child growing up, My Mom, little sister and I would gather flowers mostly found in Mom's garden, make paper cones and hang them on our neighbors front door knobs, wishing them a happy May Day

  When I first started looking for links about May Day the first one I came across was a surprise to me-as this started out as a political socialist event about workers-ah no I am not interested in that one. So below is the happier version and what I grew up with at home as a child.

A little more information about this celebration for May Day here I found this an interesting article

From the Farmer's Almanac here with more history information and interesting tid bits


   




I grew up with hanging May Day baskets on door knobs


  Have you celebrated May Day with baskets of flowers?
