Mayfair

A teddy bears' picnic

May began with a whirl around the Maypole at Lucas’ Waldorf school…the girls hand-dyed their own silk,

Also bear-friendly

planted sunflowers in pots they painted themselves, and selected flowers for the garlands and daisy chains their parents made for them.  As the month continued we began to give (and grade) final exams, attend graduations and other ceremonies offering closure and congratulations.  Soon Leda herself will be graduating from kindergarten.  The garden and the weekly CSA box overflow with organic bounty.  We have eaten a LOT of salads this month.

The weather refuses to commit fully to summer, but even on gray days we take the dare and play outside.  Bare feet and skinned knees await.  Also: salad.
