May Day

I think May Day means a disaster now but earlier it was when you made pretty paper baskets and put in flowers and sometimes a piece of candy and hung the baskets on neighbor's doors and hid. The spirea is in bloom and it was perfect for May baskets. I know when our daughter Susan was ill we had a group of Girl Scouts who brought her a May basket and I have had grandchildren bring me May baskets. Sometimes the tulips were still available and you could add that but I think they have already bloomed this year so it is back to spirea.
