I don't know who put this on our door (I have a few suspicions!)...but it was a fun way to start the month and it brought some childhood memories flooding back. I grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. I can remember making May Day surprises and driving around with my mom early in the morning to deliver them to some of her special friends and our neighbors. I seem to recall that we made some kind of baskets and put real flowers in them.....tip toed up to front doors to hang them on the doorknob. I can remember smiling and giggling as we'd drive away. We were confident that our early-morning work would be appreciated.
And today's May Day banner sent me off to my sewing room. Hanging on the bulletin board, obscured by lots of other "important" stuff was another May Day reminder. Megan and her boys created this one when they were in pre-school....and I still have it and I still love it.
Maybe next year I'll create a few spring surprises and tip-toe through our condo building and surprise a few neighbors. It's on my to-do list!
