Another May Day has come and gone. I’m convinced the sign of a recovered economy will be a renewed vigor for May Day. Of all days of the year, May 1st is a lousy one to be broke. *sigh* Of course, there’s a wee chance some friends are relieved. FINALLY, she can’t afford to give me the gift of yard work.
Not everyone got out of it, however. I did send out a few seeds. And my mom received this…
By received I mean handed. Seriously. I knocked on the door and when she opened it, I was standing there with the pot. Happy May Day? So off my game. In typical gardening fashion, I have no idea what it is. I know only that it’s lovely with pink blooms ablaze with plum-threaded greenery. It also reaches heights of five feet. Not sure what she’ll do with it, but I’m going with it’s the thought the counts.
In return, I received a bouquet of these fabulous beauties …
So bright and cheery, they’re like a party in a vase.
And just when I thought that was that, I came home to find this on my doorstep …
A basket of daisies (one of my favorites) and gardening gloves. If I hadn’t been laden down with groceries there’s a slight possibility I would have actually danced a jig. Instead, I squeeled. Out loud. In public. With neighbors out and about.
May Day … flowers … sending a bright bit of love to those you love most … they’re a few things that make life so grand. Outgrowing them would be a pity.
I think May Day is the loveliest tradition. Every year I tell myself I am going to do this. Every year I forget. I wish I wouldn't. It really is a lovely thought.

This is so lovely! I've never done anything like this for May Day. I think it's time to start making a new tradition for myself, thank you Amy! And I looove the hot pink basket!
