6:22 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby, perfect to be seeing birds doing a mating dance today. It's Beltaine, the pagan day to celebrate the renewal of life.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

Heere, it's May Day, another French excuse for not working.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

In Queens, growing up, we used to go to a park, miles from the schools, and dance around Maypoles! l was in 5th grade.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

tHIS MAKES ME HAPPY§

6:27 am

MollyL

I'm pretty sure the whole May pole thing comes from the original Pagan celebration. A lot of currently celebrated holidays borrow from old Pagan traditions. (Easter eggs)

6:28 am

rubyfoo

wrapped in blanket, playing babble, wath for birds AND listening to Bach solo violin

6:29 am

rubyfoo

l'm sure you're right. There are too many holiday "coinciences" for that not to be the case -- Passover, Easter, Halloween, All Souls, etd

6:30 am

6:33 am

rubyfoo

l haven't bought mine yet, need to coordinate with a friend to drive me and carry all the plants

6:34 am

MollyL

A trip to the garden center is on my list of "favorite things to do". If you and I could go together, we would probably drop a load of cash between the two of us.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

buy the smallones that coe in flats for the borders ad the three big ones will go in Chinese bronze pots

6:35 am

7:09 am

rubyfoo

Bichon, did your cass go to the My Dat festivities. Which public school did you attend? l went to 109

7:10 am

bichon

I went to 42 in Rockaway. I was among a group of kids who did go

7:11 am

bichon

For me, it was the highlight of the school year

7:11 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour, Montreal

7:12 am

MollyL

*Imagines lil' Ruby and lil'Bichon dancing around the Maypole

7:13 am

bichon

I don't know if other states celebrated May Day like us in NYC

7:13 am

rubyfoo

Gichon, l Don't remember is the whole 5th grade went, three clases of avout 30, each

7:13 am

bichon

No, only select kids went.

7:14 am

rubyfoo

My mother used to make me a special frilly skirt for that day

7:14 am

bichon

I don't remember my mom making a dress

7:15 am

rubyfoo

lt was really speccial!

7:16 am

rubyfoo

remembering malsmehappy and that was my favprite te&cher's class

7:16 am

bichon

There were lots of disruptive kids in our school. That's why only selected kids went

7:18 am

rubyfoo

Starting with 1st grade, they arranged u by age, then 4th grade, it was by lQ

7:19 am

rubyfoo

Can you imagine if they could still do that

7:19 am

rubyfoo

lm wrong, there have to have been more classes in a grade.

7:23 am

Marc Freeman

ruby, I do remember by IQ, but I don't remember the year we started.

7:45 am

welki

i went to elementary school in canarsie and jamaica - i vaguely recall may day trips, but for sure we danced and decorated whatever poles were on school property

7:47 am

bichon

We did that at our school too

7:52 am

Trifioso

hello friends. You are breaking my heart - I would LOVE to have schools organized in ANY way but by age. It is ludicrous to assume all children know the same materials simply by virtue of age.

7:54 am

bichon

Our schools were segregated by color.

7:54 am

Trifioso

oh dear. That is a rather different issue. gulp

7:55 am

7:59 am

hokie carla

I got a cutting from my mom's snowball bush a few weeks ago and it looks so pretty right now.

7:59 am

BzznBea

I'm in full garden mode this week. Planted 45 tomato plants yesterday and will plant that many more today.

7:59 am

mael

I wish, still too cold here to do much

7:59 am

hokie carla

We have not planted anything yet because every year we do it before spring break and then have to get someone to come water.

BzznBea

What does it mean?

12:18 pm

MollyL

It's a Scot word for state of agitation or excitement. A Scot conniption, if you will. And it's not a word here because the Enable geeks did not deem it acceptable.
