May Day Smiles!

All the May Baskets were delivered on May Day.  

My nieces sent me some photos of their kids!  All these children are grandchildren of my other baby brother and she who sees robins first.

Fun to keep the May Day Tradition going! 

After supper I delivered a few May Baskets in the neighbor hood...no one was home so May Baskets were placed inside screen doors when possible.  I talked with Opie, Titus and Toots ( all dogs)...they were excited to see me. 

Late afternoon visitors were my baby brother and his bride with Smudge and Baxter.  They are back for the Summer.  Smudge and Baxter did not forget me...or the Cheerio treats they really like.

I think Far Guy has turned the corner and is gaining a bit of strength everyday.  His infusion was a two stick day...errands were accomplished and we should be set for a day or two.
