Happy May Day!!
Today is one of my favorite days of the year. I love the idea of picking someone flowers for unsuspecting neighbors and surprising them by ringing their doorbell. My girls and I made a paper holder complete with stickers and ribbon. They took it over to our widowed neighbor-rang her doorbell and dashed. They are 15 & 11 and they still get a thrill from participating in this fun tradition.
I love lilacs!! I have two bushes that are still relatively small in my front yard and then a giant tree in the field next door. I picked some yesterday and sat them next to my computer while I worked on homework. The beautiful fragrance instantly wipes away any anxiety for me. What takes away your stress? I think our sense of smell is under valued. It is so powerful. We can shut our eyes and instantly be transported to different times and places by certain fragrances. I love cinnamon too but I will save that for another post.
Aren’t those gorgeous?
My daughter Kianna found this amazing Popsicle recipe that I thought would be perfect for May Day. It is from the website: Family Fresh Cooking (She has amazing photographs)

Enjoy the fresh beginnings of Spring
Create a Happy Day,
