As a young child, I remember making posies in school for May Day, and I have heard of dancing around the May pole though we never did that. Being a Curious George that I am, I decided to look up more about May Day.
May Day's roots date back to ancient time in celebration of the changing of the seasons and the beginning of Summer. Over the years, it has also became a day also to celebrate worker's rights. If you are interested in learning more about May Day and some of the traditions the Old Farmer's Almanac has a great article on it. .
I am Bringing in May with a look at some of the blooms in my yard.

The cherry tree looks gorgeous in her pink blossoms.
So tell me - how are you Bringing in May? Thank you for the sweet visit, my friends. May your May Day be a great day. As always...
Happy stitching and quilting, ya'll

I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needle workers to meet.

ReplyDeleteHappy May Day to you and yours!! It is a lovely sunny day with light breezes, perfect for Arizona. Love seeing your pretty blooms and the cherry tree is a giant ! Beautiful pictures. Sending love and hugs to you from Arizona.
ReplyDeleteMy first day of May was spent knitting in front of a cosy fire. =) No spring flowers here. Spring is looking glorious in your little corner of the woods; so pretty. Sweet Berry Basket quilt! Enjoy your stitching on this very first day of May.
ReplyDeleteToday my kitty turns 9 years old. So besides petting our pretty Polly, I've been working on a little applique BOM. Happy May Day to you!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in you yard are so pretty, and I love all your sewing projects, I hope you had a great May Day yesterday, mine was quite hectic but I did find some time to sew a spring garland.
ReplyDeleteThe blooms around your yard are so pretty, Melisa. I started Freedom Quaker on May Day. Have a great start to this Merry month of May.
ReplyDeleteHappy May!! It is my birthday month so I am always excited when it rolls around. I get a double dose of celebrations as my bd is a week after Mother's Day.:) I love seeing all your flowers and your lovely sewing. I hope to complete Strawberry House today to add to my dough bowl. Then I will take a break before starting on the fall houses. I also have quite a few WIPs including Mice in the Sewing Room by B Gervais so I hope to get that done soon as well.
