May Day

Happy May Day!!

 

 

Who doesn't love May Day??

 

Surprising people with flowers and candy.

 

Sneaking from door to door with a little gift.

 

The best part is the mad dash home.

 

It's sooo much fun.

 

As a kid growing up I can remember my Grandma Marjorie

taking me and my cousin Megan to the store to buy

a bag of candy to make them.

 

We would scribble on paper, make a cone with it, fill it with

Grandma's candy and whatever flowers we could find

in her yard

 and sneak around the neighborhood.

 

It was the best.

 

Watching my kids do it now is just as good.

And can you tell they love the mad dash home too??

 

 

 

 

Sneaky Sneaks.

 

I also love May Day because it's such a good

testimony to the fact that a gift doesn't have to be

fancy or expensive to be great.

 

May Day baskets are so simple but yet

they make us all smile.

 

Some tin cans, paint, flowers, a lollipop or two

and a pin-wheel for good measure.

 

Perfect.

Simple.

 

Nothing shiny or glitzy or perfectly constructed.

 

A reminder that small things are such a big deal.

They can have such a positive impact.

 

Happiness in a tin can.

 

The Best.

 

Now if you'll excuse me the kids and I are going to go stare out the windows and wait for our neighbors to come home and find their happiness in a can.

 

Also ridiculously fun.
