Happy May Day

Just wanting to wish everyone a happy May Day! I remember taking May Baskets to my friends and elderly neighbors when I was young. With only having boys and living in the country we don't do the baskets like I did way back when. Ringing the bell and running for dear life so you would not be caught, spending the morning picking flowers to put into the baskets. What May Day memories does anyone else have?

Cindy, I remember doing May Baskets also. I would help Mom make them. She always had popcorn ready when I got home and we would fill up little dixie cups with candy and popcorn as fillers. I would go to all my friends houses and then knock on the door, wait till they got there and run. I always let the boys catch me...HA. When my son was in school many years later I had him make baskets a couple years but it wasn't the "in" thing to do and he finally made me give up. Thanks for reminding me of this.

When my boys were little (they are now 18 and 16), we would make little baskets with candy. We would get up really early and run around our townhomes leaving the baskets on our neighbors doorsteps. We had great fun! My boys looked forward to it for several years and they loved the fact that no one could figure out that we were the ones doing it! Probably because they were boys. It makes me smile to this day. I hope they do this with their children some day.
