May Day




In honor of May Day, the festival of Flora, leaving flowers on the doorstep. My mother talks about having made May baskets in childhood back in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, but I don't remember ever doing so.

I do remember that when Amish Friendship Bread was all the rage, and my whole life was being dictated by it, I thought about leaving the bowl of irrepressible batter on some poor unsuspecting person's doorstep, and running away—as people in stories did babies.
