Happy May Day!
The Wikipedia description for this holiday notes that: "Fading in popularity since the late 20th century is the giving of "May baskets," small baskets of sweets and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps." However, this picture proves the tradition is alive and well in my neighborhood in 2008.
I heard two knocks at the door and when I opened it this bunch of flowers and two tiny stuffed monkeys were on the wood box on our porch. Across the street, looking over here with shirtsleeves stretched over their mouths to stifle their squeals, were two of our charming neighbor children. What a great surprise!
