Happy Monday! If you are stopping by from Sarah’s blog for our blog hop, welcome! I hope you’re enjoying this week’s theme of May Flowers and Pretty Things.
I know it’s true that April Showers brings May Flowers. But this year there are no flowers in my yard because we currently have no yard living in a town home community. Truthfully, I’m not much of a gardener but I am really missing the flower planting season. I’m missing the rose bushes that my husband planted for me at our previous home. I thought I would share some of the beauty that we last year in May.
Did you know that Administrative Professional Day was in April? Yep, it’s true! It is! So on Wednesday my office celebrated the day and me and I received some pretty things.
a beautiful bouquet of flowers…
By the way do you know what today is? It’s May Basket Day. I know you might be thinking, “What is she talking about?” My friends in Texas look at me strange when I mention it but in the Midwest we definitely celebrated May 1st with little baskets of treats and/or flowers that we gave to friends. Traditionally, it was celebrated as a way to leave a basket of flowers on someone’s door without being noticed. But we simply delivered cups/baskets of candy, popcorn and maybe flowers to friends and family in my hometown.
