We got up early and found plant material, reeds, branches, and leaves, to [|make baskets]. May first is often cold and wet at five o'clock in the morning. After making baskets we filled them with any flowers that we could find. Usually we found bluetts, early violets and a few crocus. Next we raced to our neighbors' houses and left the baskets on their door steps. It was a great adventure each year. ===
