Happy May Day!

When I was little, maybe 4, I remember learning about May Baskets. I recall leaving baskets of farm-picked flowers on my neighbors’ doorsteps… then running away. Do any of you know the origins of May Day?

This morning when was stepping out the door to go to work, I narrowly avoided stepping on this May Basket- on our steps! It also came with 4 beautifully iced cookies that were wrapped in pink cellophane, but we’d already eaten them by the time I took this photo. It completely brightened my day.




All this time, I thought May Day was what the sailors said into the walkie-talkie when ship-wrecked.
“May Day, May Day! Send more cookies!”
I had no idea people did such sweet, thoughtful, unexpected things these days. What a fun treat!
That’s so fun! Wow! Was it completely anonymous?
