Description
Linda Simon has many memories of Mayday as a child. She remembers spending time the day before Mayday, making Mayday baskets to hang on selected neighbors door handles. She carefully made them out of construction paper and paper dollies, many times personalizing them with crayons for the persons intended to receive. She carefully picked as many of the the dainty purple blue flowers she could in the morning of this yearly ritual. All the children in the neighborhood would all gather and discuss what person they wanted to out run or get caught to receive their kiss. The one thing Ms. Simon always wanted to do on Mayday but never did, was make a Mayday pole, so here it is...enjoy!
