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.
