The air was filled with laughter and the sweet smell of lilacs. Even the earth vibrated in response to the merriment. Children splashed magic morning dew onto their faces and took hold of the Maypole with great anticipation. To the sound of fiddling and drums the children carried the maypole in a great procession towards the open field. The pole was lifted and the ribbons handed out to big and little hands. As the children wove around the Maypole the ribbons crisscrossed, it was beautiful chaos. As the ribbons were woven round and round the pace increased and soon the children were running in circles. Even I had the chance to run around the Maypole with Teddy in my arms. Celebrating May Day with our Learning Circle is so beautiful and magical. We are so blessed to be part of this amazing community. I hope you all had a lovely May Day.
