  1. Dear Deena, Thanks for the sweet spring post. I remember dancing around the maypole when I was about 5 and went to St.Louis, Mo with my mom. Everybody wanted me to do it, too, and being from Wyoming I had no idea what they were doing. I hope your day is springy and pink and happy and well.

  11. Happy May Day!!!!

    Deena, I have to tell you that you look absolutely radiant in your pictures. I haven't been to visit for awhile and have caught up on your recent posts. What a wonderful chair to have to sit on the deck in. And that bird....oh so pretty!

    I think of you so often and pray you are doing good.

    much love,
    Becky

  12. Happy May Day to you! I had to laugh at the pictures, the elementary school I worked at tried to do the May Pole dance. It was so windy and they used streamers, not very strong, but it was so sweet to see the spirit.

    May your days be full of love and joy!

    Happy Spring!

  14. Happy May Day to you, I hope it was a happy one for you. I remember it well, when we made the baskets from salt boxes and oatmeal boxes, we always made sure to save them way ahead of time. It was so much fun. We always gave one to my neighbor lady, who was so nice. I love the memories.
