May Day Writing Prompt # 2


May Baskets!

For those of you who don't know what a May Basket is here's a quick explanation:

May Baskets are cute little baskets made out of whatever you want to make them from - paper, 

cardboard, a tin can, tissue paper, etc.

Traditionally, they were filled with flowers to celebrate spring. As time went on anything could be 

added to a May Basket - candy, cookies or other baked goods,  a small toy or gift, flowers, of course, 

pretty much anything.  Then you put them on the doorknob of a friend's house, rang the doorbell, and 

ran. You tried to get away without the friend seeing you so he/she wouldn't know who left it.

So much fun.

Write a story, a memory from your past or something made up, about May Baskets.

Bring it to our May 11th meeting.
