May Day Blossoms
When I was a little girl we always made May Day baskets filled with flowers to give to friends and neighbours. I seem to remember it had something to do with the ancient celebration of the goddess Flora.
I don't think children do this any more. I can't remember when I last saw a May Day basket or where.
An early evening wander around the garden brought back those childhood memories of May Day flowers.
I know I am a day late... sorry.
I am a bit slow, like this little fellow.
Let's just pretend it's still May Day and I still have time to leave a posy on your door step.

What a lovely idea, I have never heard of that. Your garden is looking very pretty, even the snail is decorative!
ReplyDeleteCute as that little snail may be, I know he is resting so he can stay up all night nibbling the tender shoots in the garden. : )
DeleteSo very beautiful these May day flowers and that slow fellow.
ReplyDeleteHe's not so slow when it comes to eating the seedlings. ; )
DeleteWhat a lovely tradition! I think we should revive it and thank you for your beautiful, virtual May Day basket :)
ReplyDeleteWe should also revive the May Pole... not that we ever had one at our school. : )
