I think we almost skipped spring and went right into summer! Temps in the high 80's but cool at night many nights. I'm afraid it won't be long before it won't cool off much at night! I'm glad we had more insulation added a few months ago. We can already see a difference.
:-D :-D

I sure do remember all the sweetness of May Day but I remember one year when our teacher said it would no longer be celebrated at our school, I'm not sure if it was the school district that made that decision or the government but it was so sad to hear that because I remember our whole class being very confused and disappointed about it.

The same thing, but opposite here in Texas. We were in the 90's last week and no rain. My lawn is now brown. Of course we have a house over our head and a little money for gas, so I can't really complain, after the southeast got hammered by tornadoes and rain last week.

I also remember the May Day pole and the little baskets (cones) we made and filled with flowers to place on neighbors door. We had to quit doing all this during the Cold War as it is a Russian tradition. We even burned any book that came from Russian or was a Russian fairy tale. Sad, sad.

Yes, I remember winding the maypole in grade school and when spring was warm.

We didn't do the Maypole, but we did the flowers in the cone. I didn't know it was a Russian fairy tale. Our kids and grands sure miss out on a lot. Of course, the weather is so lousy that up north the flowers haven't come out.
