Oh yes, I did May baskets as a kid. <br />I grew up on a farm in central Illinois and it was a challenge to get them to the neighbor. My mother was a teacher and she made them with her class so we got to as well. Last year, I made them for my teacher buddies. I now live in Texas and they didn't know about May baskets. So, this northerner educated them!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740470826114180453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739974925779691361.post-7160636513602270202009-04-30T17:55:00.000-05:002009-04-30T17:55:00.000-05:00I have never heard of May baskets - I just hope th...I have never heard of May baskets - I just hope this does not disqualify me from being in the draw for the baskets book which seems quite interesting. <br />Happy May Day to you!Blogless mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197604186807076554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739974925779691361.post-52123119904107901622009-04-30T13:05:00.000-05:002009-04-30T13:05:00.000-05:00WOW how beautiful I have never made May basket.

Some of our flowers were yellow "dandelions"! Mr and Mrs Johnson lived across the street and had a big bush by their drive way. We would ring there bell and run and hide behind the bush, giggling the whole time. But, they never caught us!! Mrs Holmes lived next door. She always came over later in the afternoon with some candy for us. The candy looked like little snow covered mountains.
