Youth.
When I was a little girl and May Day made it's way around the calendar, my sister and I would make bouquets for our neighbors. Nothing fancy, but just snippets of my mothers roses and blooms from her garden. We would construct them,tie with a gorgeous ribbon and place them on the front steps.Then, before we turned and dashed home, we would ring the doorbell.The unsuspecting neighbor would open the door to a simple surprise that (hopefully) brightened their day.
Not a lot of that these days, but there are neighborhoods trying and many with established neighborhood groups that look out for one another and keep a watchful eye on one another.
It is not easy but it is such a great feeling to know who your neighbors are and how they are doing.
Here's my May Day bouquet to each and every one of you!
Happy May Day.
