I can’t believe it’s May already

Geez the year is flying by so quickly!  It’s May Day, May 1st.  I was telling my hubby yesterday that I can remember as a little girl we had big May Day celebrations at school.  We’d spend the whole day partying.  The schools would set up a “carnival” type scene with games to play.  Parents were invited to attend and we’d learn a flagpole dance that we’d perform for them.  We’d make up May Day baskets full of flowers and leave them on the door step of a friend, ring the doorbell and run away.  Then all of a sudden one year it stopped because our government discovered that Russia celebrated May Day with big parades and we didn’t want Russia to think we were supporting them by celebrating May Day too!  What a crock of bologna that was!  I loved May Day celebrations and think we should continue to celebrate!  It was a celebration of spring!
