When we were kids, on May 1st, we used to make paper cones and put flowers in them and put them on the neighbors front doors and then knock and run. It was fun to see the surprised faces. I think they knew who put them there but they were good sports about it. I think some of the flowers were even out of their yards. My kids used to do the same thing even though we didn't live in a neighboorhood they would hop on their ponies and find an unsuspecting house and give them flowers. A nice tradition I thought,. MB

Very precious. I've heard of doing this. And even wanted to do it, when I took care of first Grand, when she was still little. But... sad to say... we never did it. -sigh-
