\"\"Are you old enough to remember the Maypole\u2014a pole with colored streamers hanging from it? At school, if you were a lucky one, you\u2019d get to grab a streamer and dance around the Maypole weaving in and out among other dancers, creating a lovely pattern of color. Great memories.<\/p>\n

Another memory I have is making May day baskets and filling them each year with flowers for my grandmother. We\u2019d pick flowers from her garden and then leave the basket on the porch, ring the doorbell, and run and hide, giggling all the way. My children continued the tradition with my mother and one of my granddaughters still brings me a May basket every May Day. So special.<\/p>\n

So why the warning? It\u2019s about the flowers. If there are any lilies in the bouquet you receive for May Day, and if you have cats, please discard those lilies immediately. Don\u2019t allow your cat to have a sniff, a lick, or a bite of a lily. They are deadly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
