may day failure

I feel like today was a slight failure. Yes, we made it to the soccer games, the birthday party and even had time to run into costco. (and I do mean run.) The two things that I really wanted to do today that didn't even get close to happening?

1. I SO wanted to deliver some May Day bouquets today with the girls. We didn't even get far enough to get the flowers.
2. I wanted to head over to our local cemetary to start photographing gravestones with the girls. I *did* carry my camera around all day, planning to go. Does that count?

And my question of the day: When did May Day turn into a day of protests instead of a day to deliver flowers and walk around a pole with ribbons? I say we go back to the cooler one.

Wow! You are way ahead of me. I completely forgot that it was May Day, and I had all sorts of plans to use our sweet rhodies for may day boquets. At least my very first turkey turned out pretty tasty.

we came home to a may day flower bouquet tonight! Did you know people volunteer to photograph cemetarys ?

I second your vote...and wish I had some flowers. We might have some columbine in bloom?

May Day is a socialist workers celebration in Europe. The protests are part of that mentality. Pretty much what I would expect for Oregon.
