May1st is May Day!

May1st is May Day!  This is always great fun if you are in the UK.  Aside from a day off and the beginning of the Summer Holidays, it’s a traditional day of festivities including swinging on Maypoles, dancing and jigs in the parks and the crowning of the Queen of the May.  Many homes decorate with flowers and everything looks so pretty; you are supposed to kiss anyone who has great flowers.  Schools put on plays and display artwork with tons of flowers and pretty Summer scenes.  Since being in Tennessee, May Day seems to go by completely unnoticed, so I thought I would let you know what you could be missing!  The US does honor May 1 as Law Day to reflect on the role of law in the foundation of the country and to recognize its importance for society; all important stuff, but doesn’t seem to conjure up quite the fun we had in England!!!
