May day 04/26/2010
When I was little, each first of May we would make May Day baskets. We'd gather an odd assortment of flowers, place them on the front step of a friend, ring the doorbell, and run with all our might. Why should children have all the fun? Even better, now that we're older, we have more options ... **For the gardener, deliver a small pack of annuals or perennials. **For the non-gardener, deliver cones of fresh flowers (The cones can be very simply to make ... take a large scrapbook page, hold it like a diamond, fold the sides over and tape, glue or staple - Voila! If you wish to hand it from a doorknob, simply add tulle or a silk ribbon). **For the elderly, a bouquet or something with benefits of aromatherapy--such as lavender or eucalyptus. **For the gourmet, bake a cake (or cupcakes) and garnish with edible flowers. **For the loved-one-who-lives-far-away, mail a packet of seeds or a bloomin' card. And remember, it's against the rules to sign your name. Happy May Day to you will do... CommentsLeave a Reply |
