We began our deliveries in the afternoon with a basket for my parents and then two of my favorite cousins.
After supper we continued our deliveries.
The four princesses and the little prince were not at home so their baskets ended up in grocery bags tied to the plant hanger.
One of the little neighborhood gals had a big smile for us.
Then we stopped by one of the neighborhood bachelors, and then over to Steve and Jo’s where Chance got a May Basket!
He wasn’t very polite about it, he just wanted to rip it apart to get to the jerky treats!
Our last stop was at Lumber Masons…his adorable sister was not home so he assured me that he would save one basket for her! He is growing like a weed and is taller than me now.
Thus ends another sucessful May Day! I hope some of my readers days were brightened by a basket, a kindness or just a smile.
Such happy, beautiful smiles on the recipient's faces. May Day with you is always memorable. Hi to Chance!
ReplyDeleteYour baskets put smiles on many face! And I'm sure that made you smile too.

ReplyDeleteYou make me want to do the May baskets. Folks around here would think I had gone crazy...or crazier. I can just see them peeping at me from behind the curtain as I knocked at their door. May baskets are so sweet and I love the smiles you get from those children. Chance always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteThe local school second graders delivered homemade baskets to all the neighbors. Such fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Henny Penny, I may have to make May baskets next year.
ReplyDeleteYou made a lot of people happy! I was interested in your square basket. A friend taught me to make a square box years ago. Fold a square as you did for the bottom. Then make a square 3/8" larger and fold the same way. There you have a lid. So cute made from old cards - Christmas, birthday etc.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were your neighbour!
ReplyDeleteI bet everybody really smiles when they see you coming on May Day!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice that Chance got a May basket, too.
What a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to spend the day!
ReplyDeleteYou have a good heart and got a lot of satisfaction out of your May day baskets.
ReplyDeleteThose kids will remember that forever. Even the guy who thought you were an intruder at his Grnnpa's house.
ReplyDeleteI love that you do this. Those of us who are older do remember May baskets, and several teacher friends who teach young children posted the paper baskets with paper flowers they had their students make.
ReplyDeleteYou not only made so many people around you smile, but this person writing a comment is also smiling at your lovely May Basket Day. Good for Chance that he got one, too. Love that picture of him smiling. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful tradition! You can tell by the recipient's smiles!
