I have been so out of it today because of two wisdom teeth being pulled yesterday, I hadn't even realized until just now reading this that it is May 1st today. I am like Judy, in that it is one of my favorite days of the year. I can't believe that I didn't even think about it until now.

She'd make them and take to shut-ins that lived in town and ALWAYS sent me to school with a cheese box, lined and filled with dirt and violets, Anemone, whatever flower she dug from the woods. The teacher then had them to plant in her garden. Our May Day has been cold and rainy and just plain yucky, which is not fair as, it is my favorite day of the year!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.com
