Happy May Day

Oh I do love me a little May Day festivity. Granted the art of maypole dancing does not seem to have made it across the Atlantic but I was so happy to see that Americans do in fact celebrate this lovely day. While I was waiting outside for my daughters school bus, two children walked by and said "Happy May Day". Then when I gave the bus driver her cone of plenty, she was more than aware of that custom. To make the day complete, the sun decided to peek out from its hiding place and made an appearance. Oh happy day! I spent last night making cones with my daughter - well making them while she watched and tried to swipe candy. I knew I would not be putting them on peoples doors but I did want to mark the day with some sort of candy appearance. So I sent one to school with her, gave one to her bus driver and the other is for her speech therapist this afternoon. I hope that this is a sign of spring finally making a more permanent showing here in the Pacific Northwest - we are ready for you.
