A cold, clear, frosty morning! A quite hard frost is glittering on the grass this morning, but the sky is blue blue blue and the sun is shining. I think it will be a glorious May Day!

I pulled this out of my Cross Stitch Archive to as a May Day visual aid. As a child did you ever make bouquets from wildflowers and cuttings in the garden, and hang them on the neighbors' door knobs? I did!
If I were to do it this year, here are some of the components I could use to make a bouquet.
Wild Cherry Blossoms
Late blooming Daffodils
Butter Cups and Camas
Shooting Stars (though I don't think I'd ever pick them!)
Lambs' Tongues
Wild Geranium
Trilliums
and False Solomon's Seal
I think it would make a lovely May Day Bouquet, but I am content to enjoy it digitally!
Happy May Day Everyone!

Happy May Day Beth. I've always felt that there is something special about the first of May.
Happy May Day! Never hung flowers on doorknobs but did dance around the May Pole wrapping it in brightly colored streamers.
Lovely pictures and I really like the Bent Creek piece! I'm so glad that May is finally here!
