Great picture with the Maypole. Don’t recall ever creating a maypole but the following tells a May Day story...

I remember a time when I was in 1st grade I think. We made “baskets” out of contruction paper. We weaved the strips of paper to make a basket.

My brother and I brought them home and mom helped us pick some flowers from the back yard.

We then snuck over to our neighbor’s houses, hung the baskets on the doorknob, rang the bell and ran home. Mrs. Carr must have seen me cuz she called the house to say thank you.

What a happy, sweet memory, DD!
I remember some of those long-ago days, too,
And, they always bring a smile to my heart.
