we usually go from cold to hot so this weather has been an actual spring for us here -- I do remember a May day celebration from elementary school!

Here in Central Texas, we have finally gotten a break from all the 90's and it is low 40's this morning with just a small amount of rain. From Summer to winter in a matter of hours. Nice. Yes, we did the May Pole Dance, but that was a long time ago. Good memories.

I do remember this, also my boys did this in grade school.

A few years ago, I made a comment at work about May Day, and absolutely no one else knew what I was talking about. The only MayDay they knew was the distress call.
I went online, and found a site that described it, but I was sad that they thought the tradition was "stupid".
Guess the fact that I remember makes me officially a senior, now?

I was remembering yesterday with my cousin - we would stay at our grandmother's house in town and she would help us make little baskets. Next day we were allowed to cut flowers from her garden, make lovely May baskets and deliver them to all of her friends up and down the street. I will always remember that as being something so special.
