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.

Happy May Day!

 I hope that something brings a smile to your face today!

The May Baskets are finished.  I made 20 this year.  The racoons are filled with candy... the baskets themselves are made out of paper...the pattern requires 17 pieces to be glued together.  I like playing with paper almost as much as I like playing with yarn.   All the paper for this project came from the stash in my desk:)

I put a bit of tissue paper in them for a pop of color!

And they are in a cake pan ready for deliveries!  (When I was growing up we always put our homemade baskets in a cake pan or muffin tin to make deliveries easier...my baby brother and I would hold them in the car).   Let the smiles commence:)

If you took a May Basket to a friend...young or old..tell me about it!
