It is both Orthodox Easter and May Day five day freedays holiday here, God bless the old socialist tradition of celebrating workers. Not that I'm not working... Dezzy will die working, I bet I'll be a busy ghost too.....
The only thing this May 1 means to me is that my debit card has expired and the bank never sent me a new one. Which basically renders me a hobo now, since I carry no cash. Crappity crap!
Happy May Day to you, Debra. When I was a little girl I used to make little May baskets and fill with candy, then deliver them to all my little friends. I would give you a May basket if I were there.
A Gaelic Blessed Beltane to you too - we have a Maypole in our town.

ReplyDeleteI'll take it!
ReplyDeleteI hope your May Day is glorious, Debra. ♥
YeeHaw! And, the sun might shine today.....
ReplyDeleteMay Day - I hadn't thought of that. My great niece will be in some sort of May Day play at her school (wish I could see it - too far away.)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what Beltane is, but if it involves dancing, then it sounds like fun. Happy Holiday and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteyou know what starts today dontcha?
ReplyDeleteDid maypoles have something to do with the Black Plague too? Not to take down Beltane at all. Happy and Blessed Beltane to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day! I miss being a kid. I remember dancing around a May Pole at school!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you. You've reminded me what I must post next. Hint: Erotic. May. Pole.
ReplyDeleteSmiles.
Happy Mayday Debra! I was just out dancing in the glorious sun!
ReplyDeleteYour post made me laugh. If anyone else had said it it would not have been so funny.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to dance around a Maypole. I should add that to my Bucket List. A real Maypole with ribbons.
I remember bring in elementary school, every may we did the Maypole. I bet children these days don't even know what it is. Happy May!
ReplyDeleteTakes me back. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day to you, Debra. When I was a little girl I used to make little May baskets and fill with candy, then deliver them to all my little friends. I would give you a May basket if I were there.
ReplyDeleteI have never actually seen a Maypole....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Those hands! They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe had a Maypole once, in primary school; somehow the very irritating teacher was bound to it... quite colourfully.
Oh, and they said those pole dancing skills would never pay off. Time to get festive!
ReplyDeleteHello and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in the first picture..good shot..Have a good week..
ReplyDeleteAnd to you, Debra....a Blessed Beltane.
ReplyDeleteIn all my loooong life, I've never seen a May Pole in "person".....
ReplyDeleteHey Debra,
ReplyDeleteHow's it goin', eh? MAY I just say I MAY end up doing some traditional Morris dancing to celebrate all of May.
Gary :)
The best month.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Beltane flew right by me. Blessed Beltane to you. I hope that all is well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a maypole yet. But I remember drinking a beer called... maypole. I haven't seen this one again.
ReplyDeleteHappy May! I was out dancing around today! Nice to get a little energy back, after being so sick!
ReplyDeleteHappy May, Debra! Popping into a few blogs this morning to say 'hey' before I'm off to get some work done.
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry I missed this on May Day! This is WONDERFUL!!! ALOHA!
ReplyDeleteAnd this post brought a smile to my face. Who knew that maypoles could be so elaborate? But then you are always exposing me to new worlds!
ReplyDeletewe dont have maypoles here...
ReplyDeletesomebody told me maypoles represent the male phallus, its about fertility etc etc.
I just nod and listen :)
