Happy (belated) May Day!

Yes, I know the calendar says May 2nd, but I'm still wishing you a Happy May Day!!

As we sat down for dinner yesterday our doorbell rang. While Ryan was walking to the door he saw a little head flash by the front window. Not remembering it was May Day, I went out the deck door ... ready to catch the little bugger who was playing ding dong ditch. I looked around the house and saw no one ... until the little neighbor boy comes out from under the deck ... looking like he wanted to just disappear. As he started back towards his house I asked, "So what ya doin?" His mother had been watching ... and suddenly came out saying, "No, no ... he left a May Day basket on your step." *laughs* She wanted to clear his name.

So yes, it was May Day. Why don't we all deliver May Day baskets anymore?

And as a side note, it was almost more fun to sit in the living room last night and watch as the same neighbor boy and his older brother delivered baskets to the house across from us. The drop, the run, the confusion and then the chase ... it made me want to be a kid again.
