Ahhh..May flowers. Another tradition I am passing down to my children. I can remember being a child and going with my Grandma and Great Aunt Verna to pick May flowers. I can remember picking large bouquets of the fragrant little flowers and hearing...pick from the bottom of the stem! :) I am not sure why they are called May flowers because generally they bloom in April and are done by the month of May. Last weekend we went out with my great Aunt Verna behind my parents house to see if any were blooming, but found very few. So Lexi and I went out again this weekend. We did find a few more, but we only managed to get a small bouquet. Lexi had so much fun trying to spot them. Will was more into running and playing with the large sticks..looking for werewolves.
Lexi came across a spot in the woods where my dad and uncles used to make maple syrup.
After a long day outdoors we sat down for "movie night." Will just got his popcorn and fell asleep just when the movie was beginning. :)
