That's what we did also! We made the flowers out of paper and put them in a cone type paper vase with a handle. We were told to pick a neighbor and hang it on their door knob. I always left mine on the door of Mrs. Rodgers!

We still do May Day fun. Wonderful spring here, cool and rainy. I do not like going from winter directly to summer - sweaters to shorts - and appreciate a gradual change. My daffodils are blooming, iris have buds as do redbud trees and many wildflowers are beginning to be seen in our woods. I enjoy all seasons but not excessive heat as some summers.

I don't remember ever dancing around the May pole, but we alway made May baskets to hang on people's door knobs. You rolled construction paper to make a cone and added a handle. We filled them with candies and some Spring violets. Hang them on someone's door and run and hide so you could watch their surprise.

I only remember that from books, I grew up in Newark, NJ in the 50's and we didn't do anything like that.
For the past 5 or so years my gardening friend an I have done May baskets for each other. So much fun to come out in the morning and find them. Surprise!! This year we've added another buddy so there were 2. Mine were both purple. Gorgeous.

We celebrated May Day before global warming! Now it's to cold - overnight low of 36 degrees here in Iowa.

Chuckled when I saw the "For You Seniors" heading. I was reading the Omaha World Herald yesterday and they had a story about a trial where an "elderly" lady of 60 testified against a drug dealer. Bet that label didn't set well with some of their readers....including me.

Yes I remember! We also did the May baskets with flowers to put on our neighbors door step.
