This used to be May Day!

...I guess it still is. But I haven't celebrated it since elementary school.

At Children's House, we used to get up a big May Pole, streamers and all, and walk round and round til they were all wound up. I can't remember if we then went backwards to unwind it, or were just left with sad little ends to drop at the bottom.


And then! Then we made little cute paper baskets, with either real or paper flowers inside, and were instructed to take it home with us, choose a specially wonderful neighbor, then go to their house, ring their doorbell, leave the basket on the porch for them, and run away.
How cute is that? Why don't we do more of that? What better way to celebrate Spring's awakening?
Dammit!
