Happy May Day! I recall my mom telling us stories about May Day when she was growing up. Maypoles and ribbons…..hiding little woven baskets on doorsteps and hurrying away before you were caught. When our boys were young, they loved this “sneaky” little celebration. Ringing a doorbell….running….NOT getting in trouble for it?!?! 😉 If you have children in your lives, teach this tradition. Maybe they will teach their children? Kindness is appreciated and so needed in this world. And not just on May Day. ♥ Let’s spread the love ~
Got caught on this one!

♥ Happy day!
Thanks for the lovely flowers … again! 😀
You are so welcome! Sure hope your moon flowers grow! ♥
May Day is a very Northern hemisphere British / European tradition, celebrating the start of warmer weather and other things. In Australia, being a British colony, these traditions were still practiced when I was at school and we had maypole dancing etc on the first week day/ week of May. As a child I used to wonder what the significance of all the spring flowers were and the celebration of warm weather when we were approaching the colder days of winter. It took many many years for Australia to shake off traditions that did not really fit in with their seasons, and eventually create their own.
That’s so interesting! I would loved to have celebrated like this as a child. Thanks for sharing ♥
Happy May Day, Paula!
Thank you, Naomi! ♥
Until today, I never knew what May Day was all about. What a great idea. Canada was also a colony, I wonder why we didn’t do it here. Thanks for the flowers and Happy May Day whoever you are cause I didn’t see a thing… 😉
I am learning so much about May Day today when it comes to other countries! And I’ll tell whoever gave you the flowers you said “thanks” 😉
Thanks Paula!
Something about flowers just automatically brings me happiness. Only the ones that grow, though. Not ones some florist chopped up & a man gave to his girlfriend as a peace offering after a huge argument. 😛
agree and AGREE! 😉 I am not a fan of “guilt” flowers either.
😛 I don’t think any woman worth a few doesn’t fall for that crap. 😡

We have May Day in England but I didn’t know about the baskets! That’s a lovely idea!
Some fun stuff 😉
Awe Paula, what a neat tradition! Thanks for the flowers and the surprise! 🙂
😉 I wish I could deliver to everyone in person!
You are so sweet.
I did take some photos of flowers on May Day, but that was the extent of it!
I think that counts! Snap and share!
I’ve snapped, but have been busy sharing about Trey so haven’t posted anything of that shoot.
That is a fun idea and what a neat thing to get! You get the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Deets here: http://peacelovegreatcountrymusic.com/2013/05/02/blogaward/
Thanks so much for thinking of ME! 😉
Beautiful iris and wonderful tradition. I’ve missed you–I admit that I haven’t been on line much for the past few weeks, but wordpress has been doing something with my follows. I have not been getting notifications from your blog. You are not on my list of blogs that I follow anymore. I have been looking through these and have found at least 5 other blogs that were taken off. What’s up with that? Anyway, I’m back and happy about it!!
When things happen with WP…..I don’t know how to “fix” them! So glad you are back 😉 Hope your weekend is awesome! ♥
