It was May Day, and the sun was shining

For once, May Day lived up to my expectations, formed by poetry and the reading of too many books. It was SUNNY. It was NOT RAINING. It was even WARM. Birds were singing, flowers blooming—had I suddenly been transported away from Ohio? NOPE.

Aiden and I continued our tradition of May Day flowers for Heidi, though as you will see, someone else intercepted our offering!

Uncle Frank! He got to the door first!

It was ok, though, because our jammie-clad Heidi was close behind.

Later one, Aiden built a fort with sticks and a tablecloth and clothespins. Then he played in it for the rest of the day. I love this kid.

And to end the day, this golden day, we had some buddies over for a cookout, the first of the season.

And today? Today is a birthday! Aiden is six-years-old today!

Happy birthday to our bright boy!
