Yes it’s May Day and it’s foggy out there, 46 degrees. Today generally cloudy, slight chance of rain, high 58.
May Day, is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer. It came to North America with European settlers. Celebrated in eastern Canada, sort of celebrated in the USA but not so much any more. Traditions often include gathering wildflowers and green branches, weaving floral garlands, crowning a May Queen (sometimes with a male companion), and setting up a Maypole, May Tree or May Bush, around which people dance. Bonfires are also part of the festival in some regions.
Maybe it’s to bad that we no longer celebrate this wonderful holiday.
May your day be sunny and dry and as always may God bless.
May Day, May Day!
