    With May just around the corner, did anyone ever hang May baskets on friends door knob and quietly sneak away? I think it was more my moms idea than mine. Not many neighbors in the country so I did this at my cousins house. I'd always find a basket on my door too.

    I've not heard of that before. We never really did anything to celebrate May Day. They used to have a May Pole at school, when I was in elementary school, back in the late '60s.

    I've never really understood the meaning behind May Day. I'll have to look it up and see what it's for. Thanks for mentioning it. I did find these images. What do you think? Did you ever do this?

    Never did the May Pole thing but have heard of it. I'll have to ask some of my senior friends here in the park if they ever did the basket thing.
