It is May Day 5/1/2020. Did you ever hang a May Basket as a kid? I grew up in New England, and I did. You would hang it on the door handle of a potential sweetheart or set it on the neighbor’s door stoop. Then ring the doorbell and run away.

If you got caught before getting away, you had to kiss them. And of course, if you had your eye on someone you wanted to kiss, you would let them catch you. TeeHee.

@Dennis Higgins, couldn’t you take us back to the good ole days? You write time-travel books. :-)

I am including a link that I found online to New England.com, to what my May baskets looked similar to as a kid and instructions on how to make a May Basket. https://newengland.com/today/living/crafts/make-a-may-basket/ This year with social distancing due to COVID-19, it would not be advisable to hang May baskets. But next year, you might want to start a new tradition. MAKE A MAY BASKET!


Happy May Day!
Wishing you all well–Stay safe!
