May Day!

Sunshine!  Glorious sunshine!  Together, staff and residents celebrated May Day (May 1st) with fanfare.  The weather forecast was for rain, but to our delight the sun came out and the temperature rose!  Our Maypole ribbons wafted in the wind as we gathered folks to sit along the sidewalk (6 feet apart).  Some were able to peer out their windows.  The joy of a Spring day was felt by all.  The traditions of May Day date back to ancient times.  Early May Day celebrations began with the Floralia, a festival honoring Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers.  Our Maypole dance brought forth memories from our residents of a bygone era of Spring celebrations of their youth.  May baskets were also delivered to celebrate the day.  We are so happy to welcome the month of May!
